I'll give this a shot tonight when I get home.  I believe that Ubuntu liveCDs 
have a memtest boot option on them, if not I've got a Memtest disc somewhere.  
I'll run it at least 24h and let you know how it goes.

It's got 1GB of RAM, and Solaris is the first OS I've installed on this 
particular system.  I ran an Ubuntu LiveCD and did notice some instability 
while attempting to install some extra packages (was trying to get a JDK 
installed to run the Solaris driver tool) though, so maybe it is the RAM.

Again, I'll take a look at this when I get home.  I strongly suspect that it is 
indeed the AHCI driver.
