@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
@acebmxer I don't observe the same issue on Debian 13 Cloud-Init (both 6.12.38+deb13-amd64 and updated 6.12.90+deb13.1-amd64).
Though it still takes some time to boot (especially at loading the ramdisk) but it's not related to this pv spinlock issue and mostly a "BIOS guest" related issue.
But I'm testing on a Intel machine.
