Countrymen, lend me your eyes and fingers...
        It has recently come to my attention that there is a known hardware
defect in the Netra X1 line regarding the LOM chip causing the box to
come down to the ok or LOM prompts fairly frequently and without user
intervention. I recently purchased an X1 which was having this issue,
which Sun promptly replaced for me. Sun told me it was a known issue.
Unfortunately, the replacement machine is having the same symptoms. I
will be working with Sun to get this resolved, however there is a far
more major issue at hand which Sun is not giving me any clear answers
on... I am about to make a large purchase (about 16 total) of Sun VR100
servers, and am curious if any of you folks know if this defect exists
in the VR100 line as well. Also, if any of you know more about the root
cause of the defect in the X1's than Sun wants to tell me, please let me
know. Any help is much appreciated.
