Looks like they are back. Dare we to risk another attempt?
Yeah it's safe. It's downloaded and installed. My Octane still works.

yep, flawless so far.

Installed 6.5.30 here ... without Patch 7110 installed it prints some nasty messages concerning XVM that had me worried until I found the patch. It also deleted my alias.dir and alias.pag files from /etc/mail which broke my postfix install until I reran newaliases; don't remember having to do that during past upgrades. Other than that, so far so good.

I didn't need to run newaliases, but I am betting the following message in my SYSLOG:
I'll have to see if it comes back once I reboot.
Yet again, this release has minor issues on systems with seperate root and usr partitions: There are some binaries on the root partition which depend on libraries on the usr partition, and the symlinks in /var/www/ are one element too short.
I'm just relabelling my disks to see whether the XVM revive problem is now fixed... if it is, then I declare this release a success!

I had something similar; I just ran 'eventmond -R' as suggested and it cleared.

I've upgraded my 600MHz/O2 this morning to IRIX 6.5.30 and everything works as expected or even better. After the upgrade process, I've noticed that my built-in CDROM on the O2 started to work fine again. These drive was zombie by latest three months, and in fact I've acquired another spare CDROM to replace it at any time, but never replaced it by lazyness...
Now it works fine again!
...Thank you all, IRIX guys at SGI!

So is the general consensus that a user with .22 should go directly to .30 and not pass go provided their system will run it, or is there a better intermediate release?
Anybody know why patch 7110 is not available to everyone who has access to download .30?
Just because SGI's Administrators are so absolutely stupid
I've called SGI Developer Support to send me the patch because i want to install 6.5.30 .
They have discussed this internally and then sent me the patch via e-mail.
They wanted to discuss that with the database group and give me feedback. But nothing happend till today. And the patch itself is still not available for me to download. ;(
Best regards

I have an Indigo2 r10000 with Irix 6.5.22 installed on it. If i try to install the 6.5.30 Overlays, i end up with more than 250 conflicts. :/
Can i install 6.5.30 on my Indigo2? It is not supported if i look into the documentation.
If i can install it, what i'm doing wrong to get that much conflicts?

Support for all systems below o2 are droped after the .22 release.

<Speculation> Those 250 conflicts probably come from the fact that 6.5.30 cannot find an eoe_base package that works with the I2 </Speculation>

Joerg, i thought it might be unsupported, but it could work, like the 1GB Ram in the indigo2 r10000 but supportet are only 640MB.
Isn't there no way to install 6.5.30 on an Indigo2?

If i look at it, much conflicts because of eoe_base, your probably right. :/

SGI pulled the IP19,20,21,22,25,26,28 specific kernel files and the LG1, Newport, Express, etc. graphics files from IRIX starting at 6.5.23. This is not like some other systems where it is not "supported"- here it doesn't work unless you want to attempt major hacking (which would probably look something like: install on an Octane or other 64-bit architecture, move disk to IP27, move over at least /unix, /usr/sysgen and /usr/gfx, attempt boot whilst praying, and most likely move over some more files.

An Octane (IP30) kernel wouldn't contain hardware support for IP28 hardware such as the GIO64 and EISA busses, SCSI, seeq ethernet etc. etc. so wouldn't boot.
A better approach would be to add the arch specific files from .22 to 6.5.30 and rebuild the inst images. With a little luck the kernel API didn't change. Of course the advantage of 6.5.30 over .22 for this old hardware doesn't make the effort worthwhile or someone would have done it already.
