Can you try to narrow down which kernel module might be responsible
for the garbled text using "kmdb"?
Boot from CD#1, (E)dit the Solaris GRUB boot command and add
the options "-kdv" at the end of the "kernel" boot command:
kernel /boot/multiboot kernel/unix -B install_media=cdrom -kdv
Accept the change with the RETURN key and (B)oot.
Inside kmdb, set the variable moddebug to "80000001" and start the
kernel
moddebug/W 80000001
:c
:c
:c
:c
... and so on, repeat until the corruption on the text screen starts ...
The kernel will stop before each kernel module that is loaded and
used. It will print something like
breakpoint before calling {some_kernel_module_name}:_init()
What are the last 4-5 kernel modules before the text corruption on the
text screen starts?
