Below is a general guide for Impact:
Operating System: IRIX 5.3 for All Indigo2 All IMPACT
( to check this, versions -n eoe1.sw.unix should show 1022585737 )
Latest Software patches: 1223, 1271, 1157 plus kernel rollup patch 1268
I would advise anyone to upgrade to Irix 6.2 if possible as it's generally more
stable. You should install the gfx patch for 6.2 which is 1333. You may need
some other non-gfx patches depending on what you do I'm just talking gfx here.
In the near future patch 1332 will release for Irix 5.3 and 1447 will release
for Irix 6.2 for gfx stuff.
You local SGI support office can get you the patches or if you have support I
believe you can get them via ftp from patches.sgi.com ( probably under /private
).
In the past I've found that the type of errors you posted ( did you get a CTXSW
timeout also ? ) are usually caused by not having the latest patches but if
this only happens under certian circumstances it could be an application
specific bug. If neither then I guess it maybe a HW problem. I think this
should be VOF independant - the error is happening earlier in the pipe than the
video O/P.
Hope this helps
Rob
