Thanks.
I found I could work around it by inserting a CD if one was not
present (or ejecting one if present). I guess it has something to do
with udev being able to move the computer to a new state that allows
it to boot.
No logs to provide at the moment, though. There's no dmesg, and trying
to read /dev/klog crashes:
$ dmesg
-bash: dmesg: command not found
$ cat /dev/klog
cat: /dev/klog: Computer bought the farm
Does anyone know how to view system logs on this OS?
