Hi,
so I recently got into Packer and created some VM templates with, which all worked fine. During testing, I only used linked clones, so there was no issues. However, now that I'm done with creating the templates and I tried creating a working VM using a full-clone of the template, it crashes my pfSense VM.
I set up qemu-guest-agent on pfSense, fully updated proxmox and tried the solution from here, but with no success.
Here is the error from syslog:
The console of the pfSense VM shows the following message:
Networking will stop working some time after and I will have to force stop and restart the VM.
Here is the config of the pfSense VM:
The config of the template I am trying to clone (it's a Kali linux VM, but the same thing happened with Windows Server):

If you need to look at the packer templates, you can find them here.
I hope you can help me fix this. I know I could just use linked clones, but that just seems like a bad workaround for me, and I don't want to setup my VMs again if I change the template.
