After some invetigation, it seems that the machine boots, but has no access to the network. And indeed, the information about the network for this machine says: eth0/enp24s0f0, Ethernet, configured rate: 10 Gbps, model: Intel Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+, driver: i40e All is fine on another machine in the same infrastructure that has a different networking configuration: eth0/eno1, Ethernet, configured rate: 25 Gbps, model: Mellanox Technologies MT27710 Family [ConnectX-4 Lx], driver: mlx5_core, SR-IOV enabled eth1/eno2, Ethernet, configured rate: 25 Gbps, model: Mellanox Technologies MT27710 Family [ConnectX-4 Lx], driver: mlx5_core, SR-IOV enabled thanks, julia
