Before posting something, READ the changelog, WATCH the videos, howto and provide following:
Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

Hello Guys,

I have the same issue after updating to the newest version of EVE. I had lab working for more than 2 weeks with 4 nexus devices running, 4 ASR's ( CSR's) 4 ASA's and multiple switches. Everything is working fine but nexus devices are not bootking up anymore. They are stuck in boot.

inside of nexus image folder, rename file from hda.qcow2 to sataa.qcow2.

/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/nxosv9k-7.0.3.I6.1/

filename inside must be
sataa.qcow2

then wipe your node, and start...
This update works only for v70.
sata hdd is used for faster NX boot.

Such behaviour is usually when you have not given to NX ensufficient resource to run.
It simply has no power run it

NX9K myst be min x4CPU and 8G RAM for single node

then wipe your node, and start...
This update works only for v70.
sata hdd is used for faster NX boot.

I think I pressed the the right button :)

Thanks you so much for your answer UD.

I did change hda to sataa and fix the permissions. I wiped the node and this is the result I have right now:
