Hello,

Fresh Alpine Virt 3,10.1 installation is hanging up after starting NTP
service ( is marked ok )
but just sits there for about 30+ seconds doing nothing.

How can I check what happens in the mean time ?

Thanks

This may be due to the vm gathering entropy.
Try to add an entropy builder like `haveged` or `rng-tools` and ensure
it is started on boot.

Try typing random keys on your keyboard at the vm window during init.
Once you can log in, type `dmesg` to check the logs. You might see
something like "crng init done". Take a look at the timestamp between
that message and the message before it.

I thought we solved this when we added trust cpu vendor kernel option ?
CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU=y
