When reimaging hosts for T351074, the installer waits for input for network configuration. Because the installer is stuck and does not finish, the cookbook eventually times out and fails.
I changed the config for the affected hosts just before the reimage in this CR, so it could be caused by a mistake in that, but I don't see how.
Hosts known to be affected: mw138[68].eqiad.wmnet,mw139[0246].eqiad.wmnet,mw1408.eqiad.wmnet,mw2317.codfw.wmnet
(I did not try with the rest of the codfw hosts in my CR.)
Cookbook commands I ran:
sudo cookbook sre.hosts.reimage -t T351074 --os bullseye mw1386 (or with --new when retrying)
Current state (as of filing this task, 2024/02/05 21:41UTC): I re-ran and then ^C'd the cookbook on mw1386, so that one is no longer in the original state (and there's a stale cookbook lock). The rest of the hosts listed above are in the original state.
