What?! Do you have S10U3 already? Is it out? Haven't seen any news about it...

No, no idea.
With that said, let me tell you my little story.
A few months ago I was working to make my EVDO card work on Solaris (see the CDMA \
modem thread on this list). As I didn't know how to make it work, I was booting \
Knoppix from a LiveCD whenever I wanted my Internet connection. Strangely, after each \
Linux session, the next Solaris boot would complain with this exact error message \
(well, in fact the PCI function listed would be 0/31/6). What I learned to solve the \
problem is: 1. upon boot go to the BIOS setup (my Satellite will go there when I turn \
it on with ESC pressed) 2. in BIOS setup, select the default factory settings (again, \
in mine you press HOME to get that) 3. save settings and reboot -- Solaris should \
stop complaining and boot successfully.

Hope that helps.
