    @anthoineb @gduperrey @bleader Hi! Thank you very much for your responses. I actually found the issue and it was not caused by the XCP-ng patches. Appearently one of my switches had a malfunction and lost it's jumbo frames config on the ports involved... It seems like this happened in the time frame between XCP-ng updates . Last time I used this setup the jumbo frames / storage setup was working fine so I thought it might be related to these patches. Anyways sorry for taking your time in this regard- Best regards

    Rocky 10 is affected and has no fix in it. I pulled the source RPM for kernel-6.12.0-211.16.1.el10_2.0.1, which is your -211: jiffies.c still ends on core_initcall(init_jiffies_clocksource) with no cs_jiffies_registered, so f24df84cbe05 hasn't landed, and max_raw_delta sits in clocksource.h with nothing setting it early, so the regression is still there. So tsc_mode=2 and nomigrate stay the answer on Rocky until Red Hat picks it up. One more thing, because this thread reads like an AMD problem if you skim it. @dvinni measured the same stalled clock on Intel Xeon Gold in the sibling thread, and the upstream fix came from @teddyastie bisecting it on a Xen HVM guest. I read source rather than booting a Rocky VM, so if you have one behaving differently I'd like to hear it.

    I went and checked a couple of the factual bits here rather than take them on trust, and the xscontainer one holds up: xscontainer-10.0.4-1.xcpng8.3.noarch.rpm is still sitting in the 8.3 base repo, and back in topic 6845 Olivier said it was meant to be removed at some point, which evidently hasn't happened. The wiki page is the bit I couldn't reproduce. There's no Docker or container page in the current docs that I can find, and nothing matching in the docs repo either, so I might be looking in the wrong place. On the proposal, I'm not the right person to say whether a containers collector fits the agent's scope. Two things I can tell you. xen-guest-agent lives on GitLab rather than GitHub, so the design conversation would need to happen there. And there's no Feeder entry for any of this yet, which surprised me given how far back the requests go; worth putting one up so the votes have somewhere to land. That's my read on where it should go rather than on whether it's a good idea, and someone closer to the agent will correct me if I've sent you the wrong way.

    Pour l'ISO montée deux fois : My bad, j'ai ajouter un truc en trop sur mon précédent fix. Une PR est en cours pour corriger ça. Pour le problème principal : J'ai identifié la cause, mais je n'ai pas encore de solution. Sans les drivers Xen (non initialisés avant l'installation), une VM est limitée à 4 périphériques. La séquence de boot ne peut donc pas détecter le second disque contenant le fichier Kickstart (ks). Côté Packer, on semble être bloqués par cette contrainte XCP-ng. Les seules alternatives actuelles seraient de se limiter à : 2 disques + 2 CD ou 3 disques + 1 CD + HTTP (Note : L'installation manuelle fonctionne car l'installateur démarre directement, avec le driver xen_blkfront, alors qu'avec Packer, l'injection de notre fichier interrompt le flux de démarrage classique). Je vais fouiller encore un peu, mais sans certitude d'un contournement possible. (et je regarde pour ajouter le CDlabel)
