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

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

Ah very good, so it was even easier than this. You had the Xen blk driver but instead of using an UUID, the appliance was having a hardcoded sda.
Keep us posted
