@escape222 said: Slow booting on Debian 13 VM created from a template I recently tried cloning a VM from a template (created from a full install of Debian 13). What was noticed was that the system takes forever to boot when the VM is created from XO-6. The issue does not happen in XO-5. The VM seems to hang at the TianoCore boot screen [image: 1777211282857-hang.png]. What I noticed is that when the VM is cloned with XO-6 the boot order somehow changes to Network boot as the first option [image: 1777211424131-bootorder-resized.png] This does not happen (change of boot order) if the VM is cloned from XO-5 and there is no boot delay. The boot process seems to wait for more than 2 minutes before it fails network boot and then proceeds normally to boot from the Hard drive [image: 1777211554863-hang2.png] Thanks This one's filed as GitHub issue #9802. The clone inserting Network Boot as the first option is reproducible and @MajorP93 confirmed the extended boot time with spinlock messages too, which strengthens the report. Both symptoms are in the issue. If you find a workaround in the meantime (like manually reordering boot entries post-clone), adding it to the issue would be useful for others hitting the same thing.

@IgorGlock Hello, Could you share the exception that should be in /var/log/SMlog?
