Lots more info needed.
What ML?
What hardware / system type?
What type of console, LFT, serial, etc?
Any recent changes?
Any recent DNS / network changes!!!!!!
If you have a GUI console it is probably a DNS problem.....I might be shot down in flames for this one but it is a common problem with failing GUI / LFT boot / login problems.

hi,
thank for your answers.
the DNS or net change becouse if you have DNs cfged and you
reboot and cable is disconnected (or DNS not reacheable),
the machine hangs for tens of minutes, but a code appears
in 3digit diplay; however, after 1/2 houe, the OS goes:
this is not your situation.
What can be happened, is if shutdown has not been correctely, some fs mey have been corrupted, or if
well finished, other as / filesystem is full.
In these case, try to boot from CD, and ignore setup
(will delete your system) and choose system recovery;
import rootvg, and reach the hamletic question:
- start a shell before mounting fs
- after
I don't remebre perfectely them
Begin choosing mount fs before start a shell:
you will see all yourfs mounted, see root fs ( / ),
see if it is 100% and delete core files or other if yes.
If OK, ok !
If not, repeat and choose the other way: the shell will start before mounting fs: this give you the ability to perform a fsck on them and repair any.
Use
fsck -y /
fsck -y /usr
fsck -y /var
...
exit
