Hmm this is a message from the generic Solaris power management code:
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/os/sunpm.c#842
> can this be the cause?
Hmm, interesting. I think on an ASUS N4L-VM mainboard where the Intel
S-ATA controller (ICH7-M) is set to AHCI mode I get exactly the same error
message:
WARNING: Device /pci at 0,0/pci1043,8219 at 1f,2/disk at 0,0 failed to power up.
(it works fine when the S-ATA controller is set to P-ATA compatibility mode).
It could be a problem when the Solaris ahci driver is used with the mobile
version
of Intel ICHx-M chipsets.

I'm not sure, but it seems the s-ata power management support for the
Solaris ahci driver does not yet exist (and might explain the "Device ...
failed to power up" for the S-ATA disk):
