You might want to try indy99's suggestion before you buy a new CPU:

(12-08-2018, 12:53 AM)indy99 Wrote:  There was a known bug with some variants of the Indy R5 processor (Revision 1.0?) that could cause SEGV faults during IRIX 6.5 installs.

It's been quite some time, but as I (vaguely) recall the fix for that issue was to set "_R5000_CVT_WAR" as a PROM variable.

Correct, For some R5000 machines, notably Indy's, this environment variable setting was needed to install 6.5.22m. Internet thread with the info is: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/com...00016.html

And for reference you have to set the variable in the PROM of the machine via:

setenv -p _R5000_CVT_WAR 0

The -p preserves the variable setting in the prom IIRC.
