Yes, I have seen the same errors on an x3655 with Solaris 10. It is a known problem, IBM documents it somewhere. It went away in some Solaris 10 Update. Solaris 11 Express also does not have that problem. > I've read about problems with IDE, that offered adding options to > the command line that boots the kernel: -B > atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0,atapi-other-dma-enabled=0 No, that does not help.

No, nothing to do with it. > I tried booting from a USB dvd drive.

Or install to another disk on another server, then boot off a recent-enough live CD, and build the boot disk manually, using snapshots from the other server.
