I've never personally installed SCO Unix, but I've heard that it's very picky about it's hardware.

For a legacy data-migration project I am aware of at work, for example, one of the groups was trying to build a second SCO box with the same software as the current (very very old) box, for testing purposes. In order to run it on an old PII they found in storage a patch had to be applied.

Now, I'm sure you're using a more current version than that, but you may run into the same issues. You may need to contact SCO support, if you're signed up with a contract.
