Greetings Sun Managers

I have a Netra X1 (history unknown - no cdrom) which has Sol 8 on it but
cannot see it's ethernet
interfaces. When I connect to the serial port, on boot I get:-
SunOS Release 5.8 Version Generic_108528-09 64-bit
Copyright 1983-2001 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
ifconfig: plumb: eri0: Bad file number
ip_rput_dlpi(eri1): DL_ERROR_ACK for DL_ATTACH_REQ(11), errno 8, unix 0
ip_rput_dlpi(eri1): DL_ERROR_ACK for DL_BIND_REQ(1),
errno 3, unix 0
ip_rput_dlpi(eri1): DL_ERROR_ACK for DL_PHYS_ADDR_REQ(49), errno 3, unix 0
ip_rput_dlpi(eri1): DL_ERROR_ACK for DL_UNBIND_REQ(2), errno 3, unix 0
ip_rput_dlpi(eri1): DL_ERROR_ACK for DL_DETACH_REQ(12), errno 3, unix 0
ifconfig: SIOCSLIFNAME for ip: eri1: no such interface
moving addresses from failed IPv4 interfaces: eri0
(couldn't move, no alternative interface) eri1 (couldn't move, no
alternative
interface).
Hostname: harry
The system is coming up. Please wait.

etc

ifconfig -a gives me
ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4>
mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

but no eri0 or eri1 ports. When these ports are
plugged into a hub however the link light becomes
active and flickers.

Is this a hardware prob or something simpler?

Will summarize.

regards

Matt
