I have a similarly equipped IBM 325 (say, did you just get this from ebay? :) ) and am seeing the exact same behavior. Gutsy and Hardy (beta) AMD64 do not seem to work.
IBM eServer xseries 325 w/2 AMD Opteron 246 CPUs, 2 gb RAM, 120 gb IDE HD Gutsy AMD64 Server fails with mod probe init fail. Adding "all_generic_ide" to boot allowed me to eventually boot and start installation. However, the install seemed to stall at scanning IDE devices (TR? IDE, I forget exact entry). Hardy AMD64 Server Beta (downloaded today) fails with: Kernel alive kernel direct mapping tables up to 100000000 @ 8000-d000 PANIC: early exception rip ffffffff805e9171 error 0 cr2 69d8 Solaris Express Developer Edition x86_64 boots and seems to install w/no problem.
