We then encountered loads of errors with KAIO, bringing the engine down. We then tried not to use the KAIO, and it worked... But some tables were left corrupted, and un-usable-dropable-readable (bad alter slot, etc...). So we called the TechSupport, who told us to issue a bunch of onchecks, which didn't restore the tables. So we decided to downgrade to 7.22, and restore a level0 archive from tape. The TechSupport called us a few minutes later, and told us that they had a "Tech Alert" from Informix, saying it was NOT recommended to upgrade to 7.24.UC3. Clients must wait for the 7.24.UC5.
