Hello, thanks for providing cloud images! I'm migrating towards them for VM installs instead of preseeding and the debian installer.
I'm using bullseye genericcloud images with libvirt on a buster host. I
want a completely static network configuration. The following commands
works, and the VM comes up with static network, but there is a
one-minute delay during first boot. What is happening? I'm guessing it
is doing a DHCP request that times out.
Is this a bug that should be reported and fixed, or is this intentional
behaviour?
How do I avoid the timeout?
For comparison, Ubuntu cloud images does not behave like this, they boot
quickly and acquire a static network config as expected.
I have tried dsmode=local too ('cloud-localds -m local'), but it didn't
make a difference.
See at the end for content of the input files, if someone wants to
experiment with reproducing this.
