Hi there.

Today i got a new Toy, a nice O2 R12k.

Because i have no root pw and wanted to install it new anyway, i decided to do so with my pre configured fuel which acts as bootp and netinstall server. It acted as install server in previous installations of other machines, so i dont think the fuel or the images on it are broken.

I did it like described here: http://www.nekochan.net/wiki/ ... a_SGI_Fuel
Besides the fact the automatic response file doesnt works (it only loads my first overlay disc and then asks about what to open next) i followed the steps in this tutorial, stating the keep and install commands manually.

I always get this error:

ERROR: No product corresponding to "" at line 628 of cosmoplayer.idb.

If i decide to not install cosmoplayer then it mocks about mozilla.idb.

If i remove mozilla*:
ERROR: Missing symval attribute for etc/rc.0.d/K27sgi_apache at line 4 of sgi_apache.idb.

And so on.

I think if i remove * it would run ^^

I searched the net a bit and only found some threads about upgrading irix which stated that this error comes up if someone didnt install path5086 prior upgrading, which isnt the case. I would make a fresh install of 6.5.30f

Can someone help me with this?

Another question regarding the O2:

How can i remove the dark blue bottom without destroying it?
And is there a way to access the frontplane without destroying anything?

Thanks

I think the original assessment of missing patch 5086 is correct, it seems it cant read the CDs correctly.
One suggestion is to install the base 6.5 IRIX, then patch it rebot and upgrade to 6.5.30

I wonder. AIUI, patch5086 updates inst and since this is a fresh install using sa from the overlays (are you?), shouldn't it Just Work?

Yes its a fresh install from sa.

I did this before with my Octane and Origin 200 from the same sources, and it worked perfectly.

Since this is an R12000 O2, it won't run vanilla IRIX 6.5. You shouldn't boot the 6.5 miniroot either, but the one from "6.5.x Overlay and Installation Tools 1".

patch5086 updates the inst program of an existing installation, to make it read the new dist format used in 6.5.22+
The inst program in the minroot of 6.5.22 and newer already includes this support, so if you install from a miniroot there's never a need for patch5086.

It sounds like your distribution files are garbled. Did you unpack them using WinZIP or something? It has a nasty habit of converting text files to DOS fomat :evil:

I'd check whether the Fuel can read them (just point it to the dist directory, resolve conflicts etc, but don't install anything)

Now this is a deep dark secret, so everybody keep it quiet

It turns out that when reset, the WD33C93 defaults to a SCSI ID of 0, and it was simpler to leave it that way... -- Dave Olson, in comp.sys.sgi

I copied all the CD Roms to the disk with
cp -R /CDROM
on the fuel.

And as is said, the netinstall with this files/images worked one or two months ago with my Origin 200 perfectly.

But i will try to install from the CDs, maybe the files are damaged as you said.

Ok got it working.

The problem seemed to be the applications image. I've choosen to install apps from the cd - Voila.

Now the only thing left is how do i separate the metal housing from the plastic foot and extract the frontplane without destroying anything.

Any ideas?

For the disassembly process you can have a look at this PDF I wrote. It is not specifically about the frontplate, but a lot of steps are the same. Once you remove the skin, you gain access both to the bottoms and the plate itself. Be very very careful with the plastics of the O2, they tend to be quite delicate.

Good luck!

Hi there.

I've seen your pdf already today, because i plan to get the noctua mod, too.

But it doesnt go as far as i need. I need to remove the bottom plastic to gain access to the bare metal shell.
And i dont have a plan how to do that without breaking things up.

Basic disassembly of the O2 is described in the O2 owners guide, but that doesnt describe how to remove the floor plastics neither.

For the records: I found it with the help of another guy.

At the bottom foot there are two plastic tabs which hold it in place.
These two need to be liftet a bit (i've broken one) and the foot should slide a bit to the left.

Now the foot can be easily removed.
