EXOS-VM doesn't boot after adding more NICs

[Darren_Saliva]

Thanks Stephane. So I created the vm from the iso image and powered it on and it booted successfully. I then followed the install guide to add more nics, but now when I power on the vm it does not boot. I keep getting a watchdog warning message that has seconds that count up each time the error message appears. Note: This conversation was created from a reply on: How to enable MPLS on ExOS VM ?.

Darren,

Can you please execute the following command?
vboxmanage showvminfo If you are running virtualbox in a windows environment you will have to move to the installation directory of virtualbox (usually C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox)

I'm interested in the part that shows the nic configuration. Something like this:
NIC 1: MAC: 0800275DA494, Attachment: Host-only Interface 'vboxnet0', Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: none), Type: Am79C973, Reported speed: 0 Mbps, Boot priority: 0, Promisc Policy: allow-all, Bandwidth group: none

Ok. Maybe I have to download the iso again. Thanks

[Darren_Saliva]

yes. i downloaded the iso again and got it to boot up. but i still see the same watchdog error. ill put in some configurations on the switch and it appears. i then have to start my configurations again. i dont save the configs after each change i make because the save process takes a long time.
