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.

You need the current version of "FDDIXPRess", the driver and firmware
for the FDDI board.
