Once you have the install done could you post ( somewhere ) what you see during 
a single user mode boot with options -srv ? 

I would like to see all the gory details.

Also, could you run "cpustat -h" ? 

At the bottom, according to usr/src/uts/intel/pcbe/opteron_pcbe.c you shoud see 
: 

See "BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide (BKDG) For AMD Family 10h Processors" 
(AMD publication 31116)

The following registers should be listed : 

 #define        AMD_FAMILY_10h_generic_events                                   
\
        { "PAPI_tlb_dm",        "DC_dtlb_L1_miss_L2_miss",      0x7 },  \
        { "PAPI_tlb_im",        "IC_itlb_L1_miss_L2_miss",      0x3 },  \
        { "PAPI_l3_dcr",        "L3_read_req",                  0xf1 }, \
        { "PAPI_l3_icr",        "L3_read_req",                  0xf2 }, \
        { "PAPI_l3_tcr",        "L3_read_req",                  0xf7 }, \
        { "PAPI_l3_stm",        "L3_miss",                      0xf4 }, \
        { "PAPI_l3_ldm",        "L3_miss",                      0xf3 }, \
        { "PAPI_l3_tcm",        "L3_miss",                      0xf7 }


You should NOT see anything like this : 

r...@aequitas:/root# uname -a
SunOS aequitas 5.11 snv_139 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
r...@aequitas:/root# cpustat -h
cpustat: cannot access performance counters - Operation not applicable


... as well as psrinfo -pv please ? 


When I get my HP Proliant with the 6174 procs I'll be sure to post whatever I 
see.
