Either run with --rinkeby to auto configure all the forks, or download a fresh genesis json that has them included. Your node seems to be missing the last 3 forks: Constantinople: <nil> Petersburg: <nil> Istanbul: <nil>

[johannbarbie]

download a fresh genesis json

i downloaded the one from rinkeby.io. will it be updated, or should i go to a different source?
