Martin:
You should probably try the latest osol 130 and see whether this will work.
If it still fails, you will need to file a bug against opensolaris and
provide the following information:
1. Boot with kmdb and see where the hang occur:
On x86, in the GRUB item, type "e" (for edit) and
then another "e" and then add "-k -d " to the end of the kernel line
or before the -B options. Finally, press return to boot this entry.
This will cause the kernel debugger to load
Loading kmdb...
Welcome to kmdb
kmdb: unable to determine terminal type: assuming `vt100'
Loaded modules: [ unix krtld genunix ]
[0]>
At the prompt, enter "moddebug/W 0x80000000", <return> and then ":c",
<return> which will then print out each module as it's being loaded.
2. It will be useful to have the output of prtconf -pv for the system.
