We'll give that a try.

In addition, error message output:

An error occurred trying to format VolGroup00/LogVol00. This problem is
serious, and the install cannot continue.

Press <Enter> to reboot your system.

dmesg output
<6>sd 0:0:0:0 SCSI error: return code = 0x00040000
<4>end_request: I/0 error, dev sda, sector 504029
<4>printk: 646939 messages suppressed.
<3>Buffer I/) error on device dm-0, logical block 19596153
<4>lost page write due to I/O error on dm-0

Again, it sure looks like a hardware problem, but using x86 Solaris 10
on the same disk works perfectly.
