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.


Yep, That's why I talked about moving over the 6.5.22 /unix, /usr/sysgen and /usr/gfx parts. Considering that IRIX was being depreciated at the time of the 6.5.22 release, it's highly unlikely they did major changes. The one advantage I can see is that you'd pick up the security updates that don't officially exist on 6.5.22 (although it might be possible to force installation of these without any issues).

It's an issue with rqs on your system. You should be able to fix it by following the instructions davea posted here:

I ran into this problem before, fixed it by downloading and installing the glib from beta. Guess there is more than one way to fix it :P

Sometimes that works (pretty much by chance) if rqs happens to remap the DSO to a better location when installing the new version, but it's not a 100% solution. davea's method will fix it though :)

I recently had my developer online application approved and there isn't a patch I can't download, including this one.
Now this is a deep dark secret, so everybody keep it quiet :)

Ok, ok, ok.
This all sounds like hacking around a while for maybe nothing.

If i have some sparetime i"ll play a lil bit with that when my solaris install/netboot server is running, since there i can switch what to boot with no effort. ;)

Thanks for your advices.
