Oh, I think I know what that problem is. I saw problems with my Radeon X1550 PCI. That board has a PCI to PCI-E bridge on it, and I had similar issues you are reporting with Solaris 10 and Solaris Express.
Early on (S10U6/7) I could get systems to boot with that board in, but then the system would enumerate all the normal ISA/PCI devices as PCI-E. Later version of Solaris just crashed with that board in. I think the PCI/PCI-E routing code in Solaris just gets supremely confused by the bridge and just gives up the ghost. I wonder if that NVidia card also has a PCI-PCIE bridge. I've got an extra Radeon PCI X1550 to loan to an OI/Illumos developer wants to take a shot at this....
