The PC and SC versions are basically identical except the second level
cache which is missing in the PC version.

Do you know which version of the processor this is exactly? IRIX's hinv
command or the "CPU revision is: ..." line of bootup messages contain
that information.
The PC version have become pretty rare, didn't recall anymore it was in
use in Indys at all. Anyway, please try the patch below and let me know.
