Thanks for the review, it turns out that this failure has always been present.
Going back to the Bionic 20180705 and Xenial 20180705, which were the first releases of minimal, also showed that the system "Failed to find module 'ib_iser'". Is this something that could be fixed in order to prevent us from shipping with failed systemd units? ** Description changed: Overview --- - This is *blocking* new minimal image promotion. Starting on or around 20200714, the Bionic and Xenial minimal cloud images reported they failed to load kernel modules. - + It appears the Bionic and Xenial minimal images have always shipped with a failing systemd unit: "systemd-modules-load.service" with the error "Failed to find module 'ib_iser'" Expected results --- $ sudo systemctl list-units --failed --no-legend # Return no failed units - Actual results --- $ sudo systemctl list-units --failed --no-legend systemd-sysctl.service loaded failed failed Apply Kernel Variables # cloud-config.service may show up failing to setup the timezone...
