I did not think the system was booting all the way up so I thought it may hang during reboot. Since it does boot up, you'll want to enable the debugger so that when the hang happens you can hot-key into the debugger.
Do these commands before typing g and the kdb prompt
mw enter_dbg
42
.
mw kdb_polling
1
.
then press G
Then when the hang happens to a ctrl-\ to get into KDB, there you can look at the system
Hangs are harder to debug than a crash.
When you hot-key into kdb the systems stop. Before you do this, try to ping the system from another machine. If successful, the system is handling interrupts.
Try telneting into the system from a remote location (assuming telnet is enable) and ping works.
Once you hot-key into KDB, post results of
vmstat
stat
status
