@manilx yup, same here
we evacuate & roll patch manually because RPU is inconsistent in achieving a full pool update nowadays
maximum hosts in pools are 3, so it is still easy to process manually
thoses with 5-6+ hosts must be more painful
@TeddyAstie These spinlock events that cause slow boot also happen on my Debian VMs. Also AMD Epyc CPU in my case.
I noticed that this only happens for UEFI enabled VMs. VMs booting in BIOS mode do not have this issue.
