System ROMA in 7-434 has become flaky to the point of unusable. After
running for a few minutes to a few hours, the ethernet interface stops
working. Sometimes it starts working on its own, usually it needs a
reboot (and then it's fine for a few more minutes or hours). Could
someone take a look at this?
It's a sparc 5, the one closest to the lobby 7 end of the room.
Sometimes it doesn't even finish booting before the ethernet stops
working again.
I've replaced the ethernet cable a few times, and swapped jacks with a
different system, to no apparent effect.
Thanks.....
