anyone know what these kernel notice (errors) mean? and how i should
go about troubleshooting or nothing to worry about?

That looks like a message out of a third-party driver. I'd expect
that most Sun-written drivers would not emit log noise in that way.
(At a guess, GldOpen is actually a cloned version of gld_open(), part
of the gld(7d) Generic LAN Driver framework.)

Assuming that 'q' here refers to a STREAMS queue_t and 'devp' refers
to the devinfo pointer, you should be able to get detailed information
about the source of the message like this:

# mdb -k
> 0x57d03258::queue
> 0xa3d838::devinfo

(Depending on the version of Solaris you're using ... you didn't say.)

At a guess, it's just a debug message that someone forgot to remove.
It doesn't appear to contain any information that would indicate that
it's a problem.
