- Speaking of which... we just added an Elan board to an Indigo R4K
- running Irix 4.0.5F. Following instructions from the TAC, I tried
- reinstalling eoe1.sw.unix from the 4.0.5F execution-only CD. After
- restarting, the console came up blank, but I could login remotely.
- So, I tried reinstalling all of eoe1.sw, and still got just a blank
- screen. I did 'set neweroverride' both times, and verified that
- /usr/lib/libgl_s did in fact get replaced. Is there anthing else that
- needs to be done to reconfigure the system for the new board? Should
- I reinstall more stuff? I remember reading a post about this a few
- weeks ago, but I didn't save it, because I thought the instructions
- were more or less what I would have tried on my own...
