If you mix up the top row, your ID bit 0, triggers position 4 (ID 4) on your jumper.  I think I have this right.  So please flip your drive-side connector to match what I've indicated and see if that works.  Normally repeated ID 4 means you've rotated the order of bits 180 degrees, swap Orange and blue on the drive-side by turning your connector 180 degrees around and plugging it back in.

That was exactly it! Thank you! My ID is now 1 and my swap partition error is gone. I am happily running Irix 6.5.19. Funny how such a small mistake could cause so many issues Tongue
