Hey all,

I'm trying to install Irix 6.5.22 on my Indy R5000 using irixboot in Ubuntu (this fork: https://github.com/unxmaal/irixboot), and I'm running into the following error:

PANIC: KERNEL FAULT
PC: 0x8801ad40 ep: 0xffffc7a8
EXC code: 128, 'Software detected SEGV'
Bad addr: 0x4000, cause: 0x8<CE=-2009769480

[Press reset to restart the machine.]

Despite this, I can successfully run bootp():/disc1/stand/fx.ARCS from Command Monitor and launch fx to go through that part of the process. 

Indy specs:
256MB memory
2GB IBM HDD
SEAGATE HDD (don't know what size, but it's the first drive)
R5000 CPU

What's going on? Is this a hardware error? I've tried taking out half the ram but that only changed part of the error (what you see above is 128MB, 256MB replaces  the top line with "PC: 0x880c2708 ep: 0xffffc6b8").

I'm seriously stumped... after struggling for days to get irixboot/vagrant working correctly on a Windows 10 laptop, I finally dug out an older machine and installed Ubuntu, and successfully used fx.ARCS to partition the hard drive. I really thought everything was going to work this time  :(  For reference, my setup is: Laptop -> network switch -> Indy.

Also I'm extremely new to all of this, so before you respond, think to yourself: "how would I explain this to a 5 year old?". Any and all help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
