Problem: When provisioning using my All-in-one setup with Katello, it will kernel panic after a few seconds of initialization
Expected outcome: Provisioning is successful
Foreman and Proxy versions: Foreman 3.7 | Proxy 3.7 | Katello 4.9
**Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
rubygem-foreman_fog_proxmox-0.14.2-1.fm3_7.el8.noarch
rubygem-fog-proxmox-0.15.0-1.el8.noarch
**
Distribution and version: AlmaLinux 8

Hello, I am trying to provision VM’s with Foreman on my Proxmox infrastructure using the fog Proxmox plugin. It is creating VM’s successfully and I am PXE booting into Foreman.
I have to admit, I have no used PXE booting before so the extent of debugging I can do is limited. I checked around the forums and such, I saw to verify that the kernel images are downloaded correctly. As far as I can tell, they are?
(Note: I have tried both Rocky and Alma in hopes of it working).

When creating the VM on Foreman, I am selecting the Rocky 9 content view I made. The CV contains Base OS, Extras & Appstream for both OS and Kickstart.
I have tried deploying the Synced Content as Kickstart and OS as well as the All Media option.
I also tried iPXE without success.
Checking /var/log/messages, I can see it seems successful:

Could someone please guide me on how to debug this further? This is the limit of my knowledge unfortunately.
Thanks,
