Given system of equation is inconsistent

$$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \Delta=0 \\ & \left|\begin{array}{lll} \lambda & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & \lambda & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & \lambda \end{array}\right|=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda^3-3 \lambda+2=0 \\ & \Rightarrow(\lambda-1)^2(\lambda+2)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda=1,-2 \\ & \end{aligned}
But for \lambda=1 all planes are same
Then \lambda=-2
$$ \sum_{\lambda \in s}\left(|\lambda|^2+|\lambda|\right)=4+2=6
