[10:59] <MrGeneral> Hey there guys. I'm running Proxmox, Cloning a VM with cloud-init, Debian 10 or Debian 11, both throw a kernel panic in the first boot. I then reboot it and it reboots absolutely fine. Any idea?
[14:22] <afarah> Hi. We're facing an issue where cloud-init 21.4 apparently hangs during boot on an Azure VM running Ubuntu LTS (both 18.04 and 20.04), apparently due to a network issue. This instance was outdated, the issue only occurs after upgrading cloud-init (via Ubuntu's package manager). I was wondering if anyone has experienced a similar issue before and
[14:22] <afarah> could suggest a course of action.
[14:22] <afarah> This is the full error message:

[14:46] <falcojr> MrGeneral: I commented on the launchpad bug
[14:52] <falcojr> afarah: that's not ringing any bells. Probably best to file a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init and attach the tarball generated with "cloud-init collect-logs -u" (remove the -u if you have any sensitive userdata)
[14:58] <afarah> I'm not sure if I can obtain such logs, since the VM won't boot. Any suggestions? We restored the VM to a working snapshot, but that's before the issue so I guess it wouldn't contain any logs of the issue. 
[15:03] <falcojr> where did the error you pasted come from?
[15:04] <afarah> Azure serial console
[15:04] <falcojr> cjp256: any ideas for debugging ^ ?
[15:27] <cjp256> afarah: I can help debug, I'll PM you :)
[15:28] <afarah> Thanks.
[16:18] <holmanb> MrGeneral: when it reboots is it using a crash kernel?
