Invalid ELF File

[pants]

Hi All, I'm 100% new to eve-ng and I've done my best to attempt to figure this out but google isn't yielding much results

This is a basic and default installation of eve. 6 GB of Ram, 4 processors. 40 GB of hard disk.

The instructions I've found aren't clear for the 7200 image:

dynamips -P 1700 -t 1710 /opt/unetlab/addons/dynamips/c1710-bk9no3r2sy-mz.124-23.image

What should I be putting for the 7200?

Whenever I try and run a variation I get the following error:

load_elf_image: invalid ELF file
C7200 'default': failed to load Cisco IOS image '/opt/unetlab/addons/dynamips/c7200-adventerprisek9-mz.152-4.S7.image'.
Unable to initialize router instance.

It doesn't matter if it is the S6 or S7. In EVE-NG, I'll click start on the router, it will go blue and then just turn gray again. I suspect it is because I haven't finished the idle pc section.

Many thanks in advance.

Your post says "run any image"

Here is what I get:

None of the idle-pc commands will help me if I can't get the router to initialize. And from what I can tell it is telling me there is a bad ELF file which means nothing to me since we're through the holiday season.

just tested posted by me all commands and they works !!

then something is wrong with your image...

bin image downloaded from cisco, original, must be unzipped using rar...to get raw image file.
then rename it...
and dont use 3745 but 3725

Well I tried to unzip (this is based off the eve-ng documentation)> I assume it will do unrar but this could be incorrect. I will dig into that as I am not incredibly familiar with linux cli.

Code: Select all

root@eve-ng:~# unzip -p c7200-adventerprisek9-mz.152-4.S7.bin > c7200-adventerprisek9-mz.152-4.S7.image
warning [c7200-adventerprisek9-mz.152-4.S7.bin]:  112960 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile
  (attempting to process anyway)

I wanted to follow up on this post. I used WinRAR and extracted the .bin file and then transferred that via ftp. This appears to be working.

Thanks for your help!
