🐛 Bug Report

📝 Description

Hi! I'm trying to quickstart an external node following the instructions provided at https://docs.zksync.io/infra/quickstart.html#setup-instructions, but I'm encountering error "Error: performing genesis failed"

🔄 Reproduction Steps

git clone https://github.com/matter-labs/zksync-era.git
cd zksync-era/docs/guides/external-node
cd docker-compose-examples
docker compose --file mainnet-external-node-docker-compose.yml up

🤔 Expected Behavior

The node will recover from a snapshot on its first run

😯 Current Behavior

Error: performing genesis failed

📎 Log Output

Hi, I've been met same error, just check and confirm the era-contract revision is right.

• By the way, if you modified the era-contract, the config 0xbc59c242d551e3939b9b2939b8b686efa77ba3833183045d548aa5f53357ba95 should be updated.

Hope this can be help.

same here, running external node from source code no changes to contract, but still root hash mismatch

also got this error

from external-node container, and it stops when switch to docker compose ways

can someone kindly tell me what is happening? how to fix?
