[Astlinux-users] Getting 'Firmware verification failed' on some boxes when I try to upgrade

[Michael K. <mic...@ip...>]

Hi group

Strangely it appears that with all my genx86_64 systems, on multiple astlinux versions, I am unable to perform an upgrade from my private repository as it comes up with ‘Firmware verification failed’. genx86_vm and genx86_64-serial upgrades work fine.

I have tried upgrading to both 1.3.6 and 1.3.7.1 and it does the same thing. I have downloaded it multiple times into the repository so I don't believe the sha1 file is corrupted.
It does work however when I point the repository to http://mirror.astlinux-project.org/ast13se-firmware-1.x so this indicates that there must be something wrong with my repository and I cant for the life of me work out what.

So my questions are:

  1.  Any ideas what this could be and what to try to fix it?
  2.  How do I show the board type for a system (before it was shown on login)?
  3.  Is there a way I can upgrade to a specific version using the Astlinux repository?
  4.  How can I move to a different board type e.g. all my genx86_64 systems are on vm’s so they really should be a genx86_vm board type?

Sorry for the lots of questions. Thanks all.
