Cloudinit SSH Error on Startup

[jsterr]

Hello Proxmox Community,

did anyone notice some changes and errors regarding cloudinit in PVE? Im setting up a VM via cloud-init template and after cloning it via web-ui, the vm has errors on starting up the ssh deamon on first boot (see screenshot). I have a pubkey set in the cloudinit drive. Heres the snippet Im using for the cloudinit: https://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/wiki/Cloud_Init_Templates_in_Proxmox_VE_-_Quickstart

The ssh log states;



This also happens on debian ci images. Does anyone know why this errors appear? This did work few months ago without any issues.

If you examine your entire boot log (qm start ID ; qm terminal ID) you will notice that there is no mention of CloudInit at all.
You can confirm it by logging in to the booted instance as "root" from the console (qm terminal ID) , since your procedure calls for manually setting root password prior to boot.
You will also notice that you cant mount /dev/cdrom as its not present as a device.

The cause of all of it is an incompatibility between IDE and OVMF bios. You will find a few threads where its been discussed, and perhaps even a bugzilla report.
The solution is:
a) use SCSI for CloudInit device
b) dont use OVMF bios

So in summary, your posted procedure may need to be updated

Good luck
