Hallo Martin!
o/
Let us split this into
#A
"Not needing it anymore" is a separate discussion that I'll trigger internally.
IMHO not all consumers of e.g. libvirt have followed and if specifying devices at all libvirt will not (as it does with some other things) add virtio-rng. I'd personally more like to see a "check if good RNG is available, and if so don't act" than completely removing it. But that is up for discussion ...
and into
#B
On recreating this I see the same that Paride does ?!?:
@Martin how are you starting your images to fail the way you see it, any command line worth to share? Maybe no or only special network to make it fail?
I attached how I started my test systems.
