Bug Description
I tried autoinstall installations on impish (final beta) on s390x LPARs (and VLAN connectivity),
using the auto-generated 'autoinstall-
and it fails with the following error message (might be unrelated to s390x):
"- zFCP LUN 0.0.e100:
"An error occurred. Press enter to start a shell"
"generating crash report"
"report saved to /var/crash/
"Traceback (most recent call last):"

"File ""/snap/
"return await loop.run_
"File ""/snap/
"result = self.fn(*self.args, **self.kwargs)"
"EOFError: EOF when reading a line"
I tried two different disk types (FCP and DASD), but things fail either way.
I've attached the console log (that is unfortunately everything that I can get, since no logon is possible).
I'll try on z/VM (and w/o VLAN) as well, trying to narrow down things.
Please notice that I was already able to perform autoinstalls with impish,
so it looks like a regression with a recent change?!
An older user-data (that was know to work in the past) still works.
The difference that is causing the problem is a 'kernel' top level key that's generated.
If removing (or commenting it out), things work again.
[With that I'm pretty sure it's not s390x specific.]

Interesting, so autoinstall worked in my z/VM environment.
Two main things are different: user-data' from a prior manual impish installation)
1) normal nw connectivity (no VLAN)
2) I used n older user-data file (on the previous LPAR tests that I mentioned about I reused a newly created 'autoinstall-
Next thing I'm going to try is to take the z/VM user-data file, change it so that it fits to the LPAR and try again (and figure out any differences)...
