Hi Dave, Can you share your OS and other env details? For ACS 4.20 you don't have to seed the systemvmtemplate manually.
My notes on installing CloudStack are here - https://rohityadav.cloud/blog/cloudstack-kvm/ if you're trying this on Ubuntu.

The SystemVMtemplate should be systemvmtemplate-4.20.0-x86_64-kvm.qcow2.bz2). After completing the install and observing that there were no errors in management-server.log and agent.log I assumed everything was setup correctly. Once the two system VM's started up I ssh'ed into them, (they are bridged through cloudbr0 and cloud0) and found that I couldn't ping on the subnet for cloudbr0 but could ping on the cloud0 subnet. I deleted all of the firewall rules and set the default policies to ACCEPT but it made no difference. The routing tables appeared to be okay, with traffic for the cloudbr0 subnet being routed through the appropriate NIC. On the host I tried tcpdump -i cloudbr0 -w cloudbr0.cap and Wireshark showed that the ICMP packets are arriving on cloudbr0 but there is no response. I tried tcpdump on one of the system VM's and confirmed that there is a response to pinging the cloudbr0 ip address, and that there was no response from the ping target. I've done lots of bridging in different environments, and haven't encountered anything like this before, so I'm at a loss to know how to continue investigating this. I've spent a few days on this now and have made no progress. Please, any suggestions? I'm close to the point now of abandoning CloudStack because I can't get it to work as documented. Thanks, Dave
