SGI O2 Soft ECC Errors
Hi all, 
Have recently been trying to revive an O2. It hasn’t been going the best. First, I deduced that only the second drive bay actually works, and the original hard disk was scraping the platters when plugged into the working drive bay. 
Since finding this out, I have been trying to install IRIX 6.5.29 off of a bunch of CDs, burning whatever else I needed along the way. This morning, it was all going quite well, and then it ran into a kernel fault read address error about 23% through the installation. I removed and reseated all the DIMMs, ran diagnostics, and all the tests came back fine. However, whenever I try to begin the install, it hits an error after I choose f to fix the mini root. The error goes as follows:

ALERT: Soft ECC error in front side of DIMM slot __, check bit __.
MEMORY Error/Address 0x940000<SOFT ECC ERROR ON READ DURING CPU ACCESS>: ______

This error repeats so quickly throughout the entire page, and never stops. I’ve reseated the DIMMs, shuffled them around, tried different ones, but nothing. I’m honestly really stumped. Any help would be much appreciated
