Hi all,

Successfully upgraded the MSN2410 from Cumulus to ONYX.
yhost [standalone: master] # show version
Product name: Onyx
Product release: 3.10.4408

I did run into a problem with one of them when trying to upgrade and don't know what to do.
I can boot the old software and log in, after the new installation it gives trouble, see logs below.
Anyone has some advice?

Anyone know if its posssible to convert the HP SN2410bM 10G SFP+ Ports to 25G SFP28?
Im planning to use switchdev/openwrt and wondering if the limitation is software only.

Thank you very much, so the plan would be:
- Buy the switch
- Backup the SSD
- Upgrade ASIC/Firmware through Factory OS
- Install desired OS

Is that correct and should the Port Speeds be unlocked by then?
