Nexus 9332C Booting ACI image from boot loader issue

Hi Guys, 

I am looking for some help as I hit obstacles and I think that I have tried all possible options, to get this issue resolved.

So I was converting Nexus 9332C from NX-OS mode to ACI mode to version aci-n9000-dk9.14.2.6o.bin and at some point process just stopped.

I tried different methods from bootflash and usb1 and result is exactly the same.

I was thinking that possible BIOS or EPLD are not correct but they look alright.

I used the below too, to try to sort out the issue and nothing.

loader> cmdline recoverymode=1
loader> cmdline init_system
loader> boot <aci-image-name>

Loader > cmdline init_system clear_config clear_log

The another method (below) is not working as need be done from ACI mode already.

cd /bootflash

setup-bootvars.sh aci-n9000-dk9.14.2.6o.bin

cat /mnt/cfg/0/boot/grub/menu.lst.local

setup-clean-config.sh and reload

Here is process where booting stopped:

I am suspecting that problem is with covering process as I have compared our production Spine switches and we have matching BIOS and EPLD also I tried to convert different switches and I am getting the same.

I can provide more outputs or some specific part if needed  but really I stuck and no clue what next.

Now,  I would appreciate any advice or anything which would allow me to resolve this crazy issue.

Regards,

Tom
