If you can only get the GSP from the GSP/MP then it suggests that
something besides just the NIC may be hosed. You may need to make
sure that all the discs are seated correctly and that the I/O cards
and DIMMs haven't come loose. Might also need to make sure that the
cover remains firmly seated as there is a lid/systempower interlock.
