This is a known problem, for which I am preparing to integrate a fix into 
Solaris Nevada
(and into the next possible S10 update).

The hang is caused when, during PCI enumeration, a PCI-PCI bridge is partially
disabled when the PCI command register bits which enable IO and memory windows
are cleared.

I believe the BIOS message about pushing data to the disk is innocuous.

While this is interesting why do you conclude this has anything to do with ACPI?

In any case, my experience has been, after 1000+ reboots, that the RAID 
controller
pushes the data and Solaris is not impacted at all.
