Hi John,

Looking over the several panics you've posted recently there are a few bugs and 
cases raised for people having similar issues on HP Proliant DL boxes and 
OpenSolaris 2008.11, SXCE build 103+, and S10u6 (but not earlier).  Most site 
CR 6745357 which suggests an issue with the AAC (Adaptec AdvancedRAID 
Controller) firmware/Driver.  Have a look at CR 6745357 = 
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6745357

We see from your panic that we're trying to load a kernel module so a bit of 
kmdb might confirm which module you're loading.  In one of your posts you said 
you weren't using the Adaptec but instead chose to use an LSI controller.  
Solaris will still try to load the AAC driver if we detect the presence of the 
controller so is there a way to disable it?  

There are several issues which people run in to:

* Buggy Adaptec Firmware (Most common cause)
* Data corruption caused by a bug in the aac driver -  fixed in version 2.2-16 
(build 15817) of the aac driver
    * Try "::modinfo ! grep aac" if you manage to get to kmdb
* Disable DRAM scrubbing allows S10u6 to be installed for some people.

If you haven't already done so I'd recommend you try to ensure the 
BIOS/Firmware, and all FCode is updated on the system.  You might need to use a 
slightly older release of Solaris to do this.

Hope this helps.
