does this work at all as of v4.0.6 and geth 1.12 ?

[garyng2000]

I follow the steps as outlined in the doc but it never work, tried both the docker approach as well as manually. it can never successfully switch to the post merge state

just stuck with this

ERROR blockchain: could not process new slot error=0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000: unknown finalized root

and this ERROR powchain: Unable to retrieve proof-of-stake genesis block data error=HeaderByHash, hash=0x4ae417863ba08901ea38c159e4fd210b952312338e999b8dd065de97c93a311f: not foun

1.12 is breaking change @garyng2000 https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases/tag/v1.12.0

It removes the ability for us to run clique, so that will cause issues. Can you try downgrading your geth version here

[garyng2000]

Yes, I have tried a few different way like download older version of prysm(all the way back to 3.1.2)/geth(1.11/1.10) and even followed the blog post and download the specific commit(of prysm and geth) and still seeing similar issue which is that the CL side stopped at around block 25 due to the TTD config of 50 and both side knows that and started to communicate but cannot switch to POS mode with different error message depending on version of prysm/geth used

[nisdas]

Can you try Prysm v4.0.5 and Geth v1.11.3 with a completely fresh data directory.

@nisdas Related to this, I'd suggest not using latest tag in docker-compose.yml and pinning to specific versions, so that we are protected against such changes.

exact same error message in prysm beacon

ERROR blockchain: could not process new slot error=0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000: unknown finalized root

and this

@garyng2000 cant agree with your more. 👍 @cihati I suggest that it's better to update the docker image tag to fix the issue :)

we tried gcr.io/prysmaticlabs/prysm/cmd/prysmctl:v4.0.5 but not working, or am i doing it wrong ?

[nisdas]

@aerielabio Can we have more details, which part is not working ?

[icemagno]

Using HEAD-58df1f1 and v1.11.3 I confirm this issue still .

It seems to have removed only ethash, not clique. Also, we can set "terminalTotalDifficultyPassed": true in genesis.json, remove clique: {...} to make the execution chain starts from PoW.

Hi @noirgif and @garyng2000 fixed it up, try ./build.sh and docker compose up -d

[garyng2000]

got this in the prysm genesis stage :-(
