1. Patch SG0002350 Release Note

       This release note describes patch SG0002350 to IRIX 6.2 and
       IRIX 6.2 with Indigo2 IMPACT 10000.  Patch SG0002350
       replaces patch SG0001280.

       This patch contains bug fixes for all platforms.  The
       software cannot be installed on other configurations.

       This patch contains bug fixes for IRIX 6.2 and IRIX 6.2 with
       Indigo2 IMPACT 10000 (versions 1232792137 and 1233007732).
       The software cannot be installed on other configurations.

       This patch contains fixes for the following bugs in IRIX
       6.2:

          o Bug 371275:   The 'icrash' application would sometimes
            hang on boot-up, due to either an old index file being
            left in /var/adm/crash (with savecore turned on), or
            due to the namelist / corefile not matching due to a
            new kernel installation followed by a panic.

          o Bug 363440:   The 'icrash' source tree needed to be
            moved around in order to allow the error code to work
            properly.  This also fixes bug 273295 more cleanly,
            because errors are exactly matched based on the
            interactive memory read operation performed.

          o Bug 542761:   Fixing the y2k bug.

          o Other Fixes:   Symbol table fixes were made to the
            search address / search function code so that symbols
            are always found in all cases.  There was the potential
            of not finding a symbol for a given offset.

       Bug numbers from Silicon Graphics bug tracking system are
       included for reference.

       This patch release includes these subsystems:

       patchSG0002350.eoe_sw.unix

       Because you want to install only the patches for problems
       you have encountered, patch software is not installed by
       default.  After reading the descriptions of the bugs fixed
       in this patch (see Section 1.3), determine the patches that
       meet your specific needs.

       If, after reading Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of these release
       notes, you are unsure whether your hardware and software
       meet the requirements for installing a particular patch, run
       inst.  The inst program does not allow you to install
       patches that are incompatible with your hardware or
       software.

       Patch software is installed like any other Silicon Graphics
       software product.  Follow the instructions in your Software
       Installation Administrator's Guide to bring up the miniroot
       form of the software installation tools.

       Follow these steps to select a patch for installation:

         1.  At the Inst> prompt, type

             install patchSGxxxxxxx

             where xxxxxxx is the patch number.

         2.  Initiate the installation sequence. Type

             Inst> go

         3.  You may find that two patches have been marked as
             incompatible.  (The installation tools reject an
             installation request if an incompatibility is
             detected.)  If this occurs, you must deselect one of
             the patches.

             Inst> keep patchSGxxxxxxx

             where xxxxxxx is the patch number.

         4.  After completing the installation process, exit the
             inst program by typing

             Inst> quit

       To remove a patch, use the versions remove command as you
       would for any other software subsystem.  The removal process
       reinstates the original version of software unless you have
       specifically removed the patch history from your system.

       versions remove patchSGxxxxxxx

       where xxxxxxx is the patch number.

       To keep a patch but increase your disk space, use the
       versions removehist command to remove the patch history.

       versions removehist patchSGxxxxxxx

       where xxxxxxx is the patch number.

No Requirements Information Available.

These checksums help to provide a 'signature' for the patch inst image which can be used to authenticate other inst images. You can obtain this kind of output by running sum -r on the image (from the command line):

37587      3   patchSG0002350
00768     34   patchSG0002350.eoe_man
