We recently have gotten several of these xy0: reset retry (or something like that) error messages. I've been unable to trace them down to anything specific, like loose cables or a specific program running. They are occuring on a Sun-170 disk server (no graphics), with two megs main memory, two ethernet (3-com) boards, and an Eagle. The controller has prom set 'C'. We are serving 5 to 6 diskless clients. Any ideas? These are real annoying, since they usually wind up eating the super-block in the root partition, crashing the system, and then I have to reboot from tape into the swap area in order to run fsck to repair the munged superblock. Its a real pain. (Sun doesn't have a standalone fsck as far as I know, which would really help too!) Please MAIL your answer to me. I'll summarize to the net if interest deserves.
