these are not error messages.
they are kernel information messages: kern.info
you can turn these off if you wish
ecache is designed to be self-correcting
kern.warn and kern.erro are the biggies
the solaris system administration guides are freely viewable and 
downloadable at docs.sun.com.
the guides will explain the differences between all the message types, 
such as info, warn, erro.
you should read the applicable section.
