I was wrong on that, they went away for a couple of hours and then we
were back to square one.
I followed instructions on
http://www.mail-archive.com/fm-discuss@opensolaris.org/msg00298.html
and added
pcie_ce_mask=-1;
to both the nvidia.conf file and the pcieb.conf in /kernel/drv.
The system has been stable for several hours now, I have monitored the
fmdump -e output often and there have been no more occurrences.

To answer my own question, I have finally solved the issue proper (I
hope).
Turns out that in the BIOS there was a feature I knew nothing about,
and HP never mentions.
Turn off PCI SERR# Generation and all the fabric issues vanish.
Hope this helps someone avoid the HELL it was to try and do anything
while the computer was crashing hard all the time.

Hi all,
The reinstall went smoothly, but upon reinstall, fmd started to complain
about problems with the only PCI Express x16 slot (slot 2) that holds
the
video card.
It is littering the error log with reports of problems with the pci
fabric
and it freezes up shortly thereafter. Before the reinstall, I only
had the
errors in fmdump -e, the one in fmadm faulty had gone away after
removing
and cleaning the old dust-filled Quadro.
This is a new card in the slot, an Asus Nvidia GTX 550 Ti.
I have read up on the error:
http://www.illumos.org/msg/PCIEX-8000KP
On the Oracle blogs, it says that sometimes it's a fake, reported by fmd
because of a bug they suppositely fixed in Sol 10 11/08 (I think).
Now, my course of action was to try to disable the fmd modules
relating to
fabric and io by issuing fmadm disable io-report and fmdadm disable
fabric-xlate, but to no avail, it still crashed and they are reloaded on
reboot. I then tried to disable the fmd service in SMF. Crashed still.
Any clues? I know the card is mounted properly and has enough power
through
the additional cable that runs from the PSU to the accessory 6 pin plug.
Could it be that it's my motherboard that's kicking the can this time?

After a lot of time spent troubleshooting, only to see the crashes
become
more frequent, I ended up having to reinstall... This time I'm starting
from the 151a3 disk, not the 148 one, and I'll avoid setting
esoteric paths
and the like (after all, I kind of know where the software I need is
and I
can call it by full pathname). The old Quadro was moved to my other
machine, a dual boot Fedora16/WindowsXP rig I use for firmware
flashing and
some light gaming.
Thank you all.
