Yes I use sonic on one, the HP is a rebranded Accton AS7712-32X AND Sonic supports this. No additional changes, I remember, I needed to make it work from the Accton code

@jeffegg Not sure why SONIC installed on sdb instead of sda

Hmm that is different: It looks like you are booting from a USB, do you have something in the USB port? I took mine apart when I got it, I cannot remember if there was an internal usb connector or not. Disk /dev/sdb: 7.5 GiB, 8048869376 bytes, 15720448 sectors Disk model: ATP IG eUSB

@jeffegg Yes this one was an internal usb, looks like an eUSB mean embedded USB module I'll try reinstall ONIE on sda

@jostar-yang Could you further check for this platform and close this issue if the platform is supported.
