Hello All,
Does anyone have any idea what would cause the ASAv (v9.20.2) that came with CML to *not* want to start? I even tried these versions: v9.20.2, v9.20.3.7, v9.20.3.10, v9.22.1.1.
Here's the environment OS:
sysadmin@cml-controller:~$ uname -a
Linux cml-controller 6.8.0-51-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Dec 5 13:09:44 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
sysadmin@cml-controller:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
Release: 24.04
Codename: noble
sysadmin@cml-controller:~$
I get this output in the console when I try to boot the ASAv:
loader: Platform type set to default

UPDATE: OK, after downloading every OS version from 9.20.3 all the way down to 9.14.4, it appears ASAv-9.14.4 finally booted normally after the initial 1 reboot (which I saw on the web to be normal).
