** Description changed:
====== [Bug Description] ======
C3-metal instances on Google Cloud fail to boot properly because cloud-
init runs before the network interface (NIC) is up. As a result, cloud-
init cannot detect any instance datasource.
The issue appears to be caused by a race condition where no eligible
network interfaces are present during the init-local stage when the GCE
datasource attempts metadata discovery.
====== [Reproducer] ======
1. Launch a c3-standard-192-metal machine on Google cloud.
2. Wait several minutes after the instance reaches running, then attempt
to SSH into the instance
You will see this error: Permission denied (publickey).
If you access the machine through the Google cloud console, you will see the
following cloud-init errors:
- * No instance datasource found! Likely bad things to come!
- * Getting data from <class
'cloudinit.sources.DataSourceGCE.DataSourceGCELocal'> failed
+ * No instance datasource found! Likely bad things to come!
+ * Getting data from <class
'cloudinit.sources.DataSourceGCE.DataSourceGCELocal'> failed
====== [Environment Details] ======
* Cloud-init version: cloud-init 25.3~2g890873f5-0ubuntu2
* Operating System Distribution: Ubuntu Questing (25.10) and Ubuntu Noble
(24.04)
* Cloud provider, platform or installer type: Google
* Kernel: linux-image-6.17.0-1008-gcp
====== [Suggested Fixes] ======
Include the `IDPF` driver as a built-in module in the noble and questing
- generic kernels.
+ gcp kernels.
