Cool! Now i have to find my Marathon CDs!!
Let's face it, we all hate digging through the box(es) of CDs and irix updates, patches, etc. every time you need to install or add to the system. Seeing as the SCSI Toshiba 1711 DVD rom seems to work fine with IRIX, I have to ask.... Has anyone sucessfully made a bootable IRIX dvd? Am I asking for the impossible here?
Thanks Andreas,
Have you tried it? I was under the impression from other threads on comp.sys.sgi that it would be fairly complicated.... this seems too easy! I have a feeling it won't be, but at least the night is still young!

Hmm... so far, preliminary tests aren't good. I just burned a straight UDF DVD with the 6.5.23 updates on it (not bootable). SWManager returns the following:
ERROR: Cannot mount local CD :
I have been able to boot with real IRIX CD's on this drive. Could be the 512 byte sectors issue. My optimism is fading

Perhaps that's the problem.... I'm burning on a mac with toast. Won't allow ISO formated dvd's. Nor will it allow ISO CD's greater than 800 megs. Perhaps I'll try on a PC with GEAR Pro. Unles someone has another suggestion.
On another note.: When I went to eject the DVD I got the following:
dksc0d4vol: [Alert] Illegal request: Invalid command code (asc=0x20, asq=0x0) CDB: 2a 0 0 0 0 40 0 0 1 0
Since installing the drive, I haven't tried to many DVDs in it. CD's all seem to work fine.

Well, it looks as if all my tests were failures. None of my test disks would mount, let alone boot. I've made successful CD's using mkefs but, IRIX sems to recognize the DVD's as DVD's. I can't access any of th data on the disk.
Anyone else had any luck?

I've tried openeing all the base cds, but as you can see from the above, it's not giving me the choice to resolve the conflicts without removing any of the above packages. Doing so results in a whole slew of other conflicts, not the least of which is removing half of my freeware and commercial apps. I tried checking off everything that was conflicting, but it still won't resolve.

I built it last night with GCC and FW_SDL. It seems to work fine on my 400Mhz O2. Movement is fluid in Marathon 2. Seems stable. I'd offer to build a Nekoware version, but I really don't know what I'm doing, so I'll leave that to the experts
I'm going to have to try it with the high res texture pack. Link to that is on the Marathon Open Source page.
I wonder if it's possible to port the Level editors (Pforte and Anvil)? I think those are opened up too.

Looks like the same is true for Photoshop.
Oddly enough, FrameMaker seems unaffected.

If it supports CMYK, then it could be a much needed replacement for photoshop on IRIX. At $32-$100, the price is right!

Did you install patch 5086 before running a live install of the 6.5.22 update? That's the most likely cause of your problems. I'm not sure if installing the patch and re-installing the .22 overlays again will fix it. You may have to start from scratch or remove the .22 update, patch and re-install it.
If WV Japanese is giving you problems and you don't need it, don't install it. The older versions have security issues.

Yes, of course you can. However, the IRIX ISO9660 implementation was
done as a user mode NFS2 server and NFS aint available in the
miniroot, therefore no ISO9660 in the miniroot. In addition, the
implementation has an inherent 2GB filesystem size limit which is not a
problem for CDs but is a bit annoying for DVDs.

I've also tried making a Freeware DVD (iso). The problem there was that the dist directory came up as empty when mounted on IRIX boxes. Other directories on the same disk with fewer items in them were fine
Mounting the disk on another filesystem showed the contents of dist were there. Wtf?

The documentation from SGI suggests tracing on an acetate and taping it to your monitor. Seriously!
On the same note, i'm trying to draw a closed shape in the form of an "H". Yet even with concave GL check, the fill goes all wonky. That is, if I apply the GL check it looks fine, then I save and re-open it and the fill color escapes the boundaries. The only workaround I've found is to mahe the "H" outline and use seperate squares to fill it in. Not very elegant.

If you have some really old macs (like Quadra or early PPC) and an Imagewriter printer cable you could connect to the serial port and run a terminal emulator on OS 9. See here for instructions on the settings for your terminal app. Plug the cable into the indy and the other end in the mac, start up the terminal and then boot the Indy.
There are instructions kicking around for clearing the root password, but I think you'll need a media set to do it (I may be mistaken though). Google should turn up some results.
Once you're past that hurdle, try running setmon to fix your monitor problems.

You don't need XFS to run terminal sessions. Might be handy if you want to netboot your Indy. Someone else will have to help you with that bit as i've never net booted from a linux server.
Good luck.
I hope you unplugged it before removing anything.

A)Hook up a serial cable to port 1 and run an xterminal on another machine to see if you get any output at all.
B) There is a small hole next to the on button. Try poking a paperclip in there to reset it.
C) Power it up. When you only get the amber light, Yank the plug out and put it back in (Seriously).
D) Unplug the system, remove the motherboard. Next to the Dallas time keeper chip there is a jumper, put the jumper so it covers both pins. Reassemble the O2 and plug it in. Power up. Yank the plug (as it won't power down) and move the jumper back to where it was. Reassemble the unit and power up again.
If you're ripping everything apart, make sure the dimms are properly seated and the CPU as well.

True enough. I've only had to pull that trick once (Thankfully). I have one O2 that occasionaly stays stuck on amber. The paperclip trick or yanking the power cord wakes it up.
You'll probably get nothing on the serial console if it's not getting into the prom. Try removing all but a couple of DIMMS. They must be installed matched pairs.
I was serious about the power cord being disconnected when adding/removing boards. If the unit is plugged in and you insert the mobo it could spell the end.
I don't think the system will boot without the PCI riser installed (Could be wrong), so check that it's well seated too.
I think Neko is right, it sounds like the memory or CPU aren't seated right.

A little OT, but maybe helpful. I have a Samsung 950p that supports SOG, it had to be set using the onscreen menus. The catch. It wouldn't dispaly the settings menu when hooked up to the Octane (no sync), so I had to plug it into a PC, set SOG and

move it to the SGI. Maybe that's the case with your LaCie?

Fuel Fan Replacements courtesy of Schleusel
Schleusel's comments on the fan replacements:
I mostly went with YS-TECH as those are relatively cheap and very quiet for the amount of air they move - i'm pretty happy with that choice so far. Especially replacing the two small XIO fans was really worth it.
Initially I had no intention to replace the large Exhaust fan as it was barely running at half speed most of the time - but as soon as I had replaced the rest I realised the very annoying clatter it produced. If your's is quiet - don't replace it
The Titan fan I now have in there isn't really optimal as it is only a 25mm thick model. It needs a higher rpm to move the same amount of air (currently its running at ~1500 rpm compared to the ~1200 rpm the original was mostly running at) but its still a lot more pleasent than the old one. It seems to be pretty hard to find 120x120x38mm fans these days.. well, apart from some 30 EUR+ PAPST models..
A note on the PSU fan:
I have the first generation 430W PSU so I can't comment on the newer 480W ones. The PSU fan was by far the noisiest part in the system. Noname thing running at 3400rpm and no rpm sensor (two pin only). The L1 controller does somehow manage to "guess" its rpm but it isn't really controlled. A few minutes after the machine is powered on it just keeps running at peak rpm. Initially I replaced it with a YS-TECH at 3000 rpm that actually moved more air than the original one - and was almost as annoying As the PSU is hardly running at 50% load and barely got hot I decided to try the PAPST I currently have in there. 19% less throughput at 2600 rpm - a lot better. Some Silent PC junkie would probably still run away but I don't really dare to go even lower. It needed a little software hack though: When initially powered on, the PAPST is running below the warning rpm of the L1 environmental monitoring. So with the monitoring running the L1 would just switch off the machine 60 seconds after power on. To work arount that I wrote an init script that switches off the env monitoring during system shutdown and switches it on again 5 minutes after the system is booted. At that time the PAPST is already running at full rpm and the L1 is happy - very ugly but works.
Anyway, a newer PSU is still quite high on my wishlist. Several l1cmd env outputs of machines with 480W PSU show the stock fan running way slower than my original one.. and hopefully with proper rpm sensor as the rest of the fans too.
Many thanks to Schleusel for this info!
The fan headers in the Fuel use a non-standard pin out. Martin Steen provided this photo shows how to connect the cables of a standard PC-fan to make it work on the Fuel. (or the wiring leads could be changed at the plug).
Keep 'em coming and I'll update the list.
<updated 17 March 2014>
Since there seem to be many rumors and myths surrounding the Fuel , let's try and get a comprehensive list of what is known to work on the red beasts. Some of this information may apply to other members of the IP35 family (Tezro, O300, O350, Onyx3, O3k, etc) but this aggregation is primarily aimed at the Fuel
