[OpenIndiana-discuss] How to troubleshoot failing hardware causing hoot hangs

[Robin Axelsson]

Yes, I saw that in the svccfg man pages, but there are no such 
properties for hal when listing them in svccfg. In fact, when trying to 
setprop hal/use_syslog=true I get an error saying "No such property 
group". It seems like hal was compiled without any logging features on 
OpenIndiana. I only have the following properties at disposal for hal:
