That really sounds like it might be it since other oses work with it.
I will just sit on it then.... I am going to use sunrays to talk with
that server anyway.

Oh, I think I know what that problem is.
I saw problems with my Radeon X1550 PCI. That board has a PCI to
PCI-E bridge on it, and I had similar issues you are reporting with
Solaris 10 and Solaris Express.
Early on (S10U6/7) I could get systems to boot with that board in,
but then the system would enumerate all the normal ISA/PCI devices
as PCI-E. Later version of Solaris just crashed with that board in.
I think the PCI/PCI-E routing code in Solaris just gets supremely
confused by the bridge and just gives up the ghost. I wonder if
that NVidia card also has a PCI-PCIE bridge.
I've got an extra Radeon PCI X1550 to loan to an OI/Illumos developer
wants to take a shot at this....

i pulled the video card and it booted and installed fine. I put the card
back in and it puked again but didn't give me that dump. The card was
working fine with the machine in Ubuntu but that doesn't mean much. It is a
pci 9500 gt nvidia (sparkle) in a v40z (which was never meant to have a
video card) so I think it probably isn't worth pursuing further. ....

That's part of the messages you get if the systems panics prior to the

Boot with -kv added to the kernel$ line in the grub configuration (hit 'e'
to edit.) And it should stop in the debugger and give you time to read the
message. The '$<msgbuf ' command will let you page through the console
log,
including the panic message and stack, if/when you have those the best
thing
to do us to file an illmus bug including them (its easiest to attach
photos,
copying out addresses in hex is tedious and error prone.)
