Nokia Router HALT SYSTEM

Post by cdeidan » Tue Jan 24, 2023 5:59 am

Hi,
I am using EVE community edition running on vmware workstation 16.0.0 build-16894299 and i am trying to run a NOKIA ROUTER (TIMOS-L-13.0.R13) on it but when it is booting i receive the following message:
!------------------------------------------------------
Timos BOOT LOADER
platformVmRestrict: unsupported apic mode (0)
x2apic is required
HALT SYSTEM.
!-----------------------------------------------------

Does anyone have faced this error or could you help how to fix it?
I was checking on my BIOS setup if there is option with the name x2apic but i did not found.

I share all output information.

Hi,

Remove or change this statement in QEMU custom parameters :

-machine type=pc-1.0,accel=kvm

to

-machine type=pc,accel=kvm

or

-machine accel=kvm

But on EVE-NG you could face also a very long boot problem (> 20 mn), even after lastest upgrade to 5.0.1-19, I have not yet found the correct parameters for my nodes or for VMWare to start like they start in EVE-NG 2 (less than 3 mns). Keep looking for it.

Franck.

Hi,

To modify QEMU, delete or modify the following statement:

-pc-1.0 machine type, kvm acceleration

to

-personal-computer machinery, kilovolt-meter acceleration

or

machine acceleration=kvm

But, I have not yet found the necessary parameters for my nodes or for VMWare to start like they do in EVE-NG 2, thus you may also encounter a very long boot problem (> 20 mn) on EVE-NG despite the latest upgrade to 5.0.1-19. (less than 3 mns). Just keep looking till you find it. monkey mart
