Hi,
I have an issue with proxmox ve 9.1.7. I have created a template from the generic cloud image of debian, and added a cloud-init drive to the template.
Since the template was created before the "Enroll updated certificates" appeared, I updated the EFI drives of both the template and the VM that I cloned from the template, and regenerated my cloud-init image as well.
However, when trying to start the VM. It hangs on :
here is the vm config
I'm unable to start the VM, nor kill the start process. I need to reboot the server to stop the start process of the VM.
Any clue of what is happening ?
Turns out the issue is coming from a PCIe device that is busy on the host, so qemu will try to attach the device to the VM, but it hangs, and the only solution was to make sure the device was not in use on the host, reboot, and then it started.
So the console was stuck on "generating cloud-init ISO" but it was already ok and done.
However, there are no logs telling what is happening or why the start process is blocked.
