Perhaps a wrong setting in the BIOS or maybe no hard drives are being seen by Solaris; I don't know.
If I was doing it I'd consider throwing on a different O/S ( Linux or Windows ) to see if that failed with a more meaningful error.
Also, if the machine that you installed before was exactly the same hardware, compare both sets BIOS settings.
