Hi,

I have had very similar problems on my machine as well. In the end, it even 
froze or "rebooted" during the actual boot process. How much memory do you have 
installed in your machine? I had those random reboots when there were 8GB in my 
machine. During some cleaning of the whole cooling system (I use a 
water-cooling for my server) I accidentally broke two memory blocks and was 
left with 4GB. The reboot did not occur that often anymore.

Recently, I have upgraded my server to 32GB memory and Solaris didn't work at 
all anymore on this machine. Those very random freezes already occured during 
the installation process... I somehow managed to get a version of opensolaris 
installed, but it never started, because freezes were now happening throughout 
the boot process. I even tried to debug the boot process with the kernel 
debugger, but to no avail. I couldn't pin-point what was happening.

I am very sure that it's not my memory or any other hardware problem, since I 
now put a Linux on my machine (with ZFS on FUSE to access my data) which runs 
extremely stable.

I have posted a thread about this problem here: 
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=104243&tstart=105 -- you 
might want to read the posts from user jkeil which were very helpful to me, but 
finally I didn't manage to resolve the problem. :-(

Good luck, and please let me know if you solved your problems and if they were 
in any way related to my problems. I would like to change back to Solaris 
a.s.a.p. but right now it's very useless to me.
