Hi, Today we had a RE (1 pipeline) installed on a 340. After upgrading to 4.0.5F, we (meaning the SGI SE and myself) suddenly found that the kernel would not link as a symbol "ipg_type" was not defined in any of the files in /usr/sysgen/boot. We were running 4.0.5A before the RE upgrade. Moving the driver /usr/sysgen/boot/if_ipg.o to /usr/sysgen caused the kernel to link and run successfully but we have no FDDI connectivity as this driver is no longer part of the running kernel. Disk space was not a problem, the installs went fairly smoothly (once we sorted out the tftp perms :), and the RE is successfully running, at the expense of FDDI. The Service Engineer suspected that the maintenance images were not quite right for our system, but that is a preliminary observation. Any ideas dave/SGI? I would be happy to send more detailed information (CD part #'s etc...) if required. Andrew Cassin RMIT Advanced Computer Graphics Centre email address: acas@godzilla.cgl.citri.edu.au PS.
