Does this machine have an 100 Mbit/s Ethernet? Those are notorious
for not negotiating the duplex setting properly and things go downhill
in a hurry after that. I have the magic /etc/system incantion needed
(for hme on Sparc) to force the issue if you need it.
>Selfcheck on this machine producses the same results (permanent hang)
Huh? Selfcheck is run by amcheck. Did you try to run it by hand?
You would have to know the proper input to give it to get it to do
anything.
>amlabel and amverify are also working correctly.
You probably have a network problem so these don't matter.
