Couldn't determine board model, THINGS WILL BE BROKEN on postmerkOS-20220204

[rohanki]

First up, a massive thanks for working on this project :) I successfully flashed an earlier .bin to a MS220-8P last year, but thought I'd revisit with your 2022-02-04 build. Flashed just fine with a raspberry pi on spi bus. I don't get any network connectivity and boot log looks like something has gone wrong. I'll have a go at compiling but not overly sure what I'm doing there..

just to follow up - re flashed the 2021 release, and updated squashfs from the 2022-02-04 release and the board is detected and all works fine.

[christianmscott]

I'm having the same issue flashing the 2022-02-04 release for the first time. Where can I find previous releases?

[Haxim]

I'm having the same issue flashing the 2022-02-04 release for the first time. Where can I find previous releases?

In the same boat here. Going to try with the 2020 release from https://watchmysys.com/files/meraki/ms220/postmerkos_20200922.bin and see if that works at all. If it does, then I'll try updating squashfs using the steps in https://github.com/halmartin/meraki-builder/issues/21

[halmartin]

Hi everyone, thank you for bringing this issue to my attention.

@Haxim there is no need to rebuild the squashfs. To resolve the issue after first boot, simply do the following:

echo MODEL=MS220-8P > /etc/boardinfo

Or whatever model of switch you have (e.g. MS220-24P, MS220-48LP). Then reboot.

I will look into why S08kmods is no longer correctly detecting the switch model.

[Haxim]

Thanks @halmartin ! Out of curiosity, if I performed the steps I posted above (flashed the 2020 bin and then used your update steps from issue #21) is that fine? Or are there different things in newer images?

[halmartin]

There are some other minor improvements in the newer images, such as the link lights working, however nothing major.

The release before 20220204 is postmerkOS-20220118

While I do have copies of the older releases, I would prefer people to use the latest one (assuming it isn't buggy, as 20220204 evidently is) since there are known issues with older releases and it wastes everyone's time to open an issue against an old release if it's already been fixed.

I'll revert the installation instructions back to 20220118 and delete 20220204 since it's causing so much grief.

Lesson learned though, when testing a new release I should also format JFFS2 so there's no /etc/boardinfo around to bias the test results.

[halmartin]

Okay, so I tested this on my MS220-8P after a full flash and it booted without issue. Could someone else confirm it works for them? postmerkOS-20220406

[adgenet]

Could someone else confirm it works for them? postmerkOS-20220406

Just tested on my MS220-8P. Confirmed working.

[mihailtudoran]

I can confirm it work on MS220-8P. Thanks!
