A bit more info. Rebuilt the kernel today with sc and some other
unneeded stuff commented out. The system hangs using a command
line reboot, so the problem is repeatable. Dropping into ilom and
doing a reset produces the same result, but power off and back on
and the system boots normally.

System hangs after the last line below:

This is on a V215 machine and would expect the same on a 245, as it uses
the same m/b. Haven't tried others...
