I don't see anything in that boot log specifically indicating that your player has a "stuck bit on the ethernet chip".

The "No hard disk found" screen can be caused by a whole host of widely varying problems.

There is something wrong with a chip in your player, though:

Could not find CS4231A (version=20)

Fortunately, as is indicated in the FAQ entry, you might be able to work around this issue by installing the latest version of Hijack.

I've gotta say, though, if you got a lightning strike that damaged the player, you got away lucky if the only thing wrong is the CS4231A chip. I'd be careful of other possible failures. For example, its external AC power supply might be fried. Check things out carefully.
