What's the difference between
RmInitAdapter failed! (0x31:0xffffffff:1010)
and
RmInitAdapter failed! (0x12:0x2b:1636)
I think the last number (1010 <-> 1636) is supposed to
be a line number in some source code file. What about
the other numbers (0x31:0xffffffff <-> 0x12:0x2b)?
The first one was the error I got on an ASUS M2NPV-VM mainboard
with onboard nvidia graphic, after a fast reboot. (I think that was bug
6754387). IIRC, the root cause was that the video bios was lost after
a fast reboot, and for that reason nvidia graphics didn't initialize properly
after a fast reboot and in the end it was noticed that the card does
not receive interrupts.

Original message was from this thread in the install - discuss forum:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=80877&tstart=0
The user that started this thread (Gary Mills) has the same
ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard that I'm using, but is using an
additional add-on PCI-E video card (an ASUS EN6200LE with
nvidia graphics).
