vIOS nodes won't stay started - EVE-NG 6.4.0-78
Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2026 4:12 am
Hi everyone,
I'm having a bit of a frustrating issue after updating to the latest version (6.4.0-78). I’m trying to run some Cisco vIOS L2 nodes in a new lab, but every time I click start, the icon turns blue for about two seconds and then immediately goes back to grey.
I’ve already tried running the unl_wrapper -a fixpermissions command from the CLI, but it didn't seem to help. I also checked my VMware settings to make sure "Expose hardware assisted virtualization" is still checked, and it is.
The image I'm using is viosl2-adventerprisek9-m.vmdk.SSA.155-2.T. Other nodes like VPCs are working fine, it just seems to be my QEMU images that are failing.
Has anyone else run into this with the 6.4.x updates? Any advice on where to look in the logs to see the specific exit error?
Thanks in advance!
