/dev/dsk/c1t3d5s8 is almost certainly not a Linux filesystem (unless
you've formatted a Solaris slice as ext2).

Most likely, you should be using somethung like /dev/dsk/c1t3d5p3 (for
the 3rd primary partition). If Linux is on a logical partition, then
you'll need a modified version of the ext2fs driver, and then something
like /dev/dsk/c1t3d5p4:1 (4th partition is extended, and use the 1st
logical partition within that extended partition).
