I think that the install logs aren't that important (anymore) as the issue/ symptoms appear to be the same: - some swap action resulting in some failure - CPU gets stuck - watchdog triggers a reboot
If the reboot would actually happen/finish, I wouldn't have problems of the hanging host. The issues I spotted required a manual reboot (and that's why I spotted them).
How is swap configured on these devices?

Yeah, I _assumed_ as such, but assumptions can be dangerous ;-)
Total ACK.
Normally I scroll (hard) by the hardware listings as that rarely says anything to me. And I did that before too, but just now I made an important discovery. I *assumed* it was running on arm64 (native) hardware and was about to ask specifics about it and then I noticed this: Host bridge [0600]: Red Hat, Inc. QEMU PCIe Host bridge [1b36:0008] Qemu. Quite likely unrelated, but a while back I had an issue with qemu in building arm64 images: https://bugs.debian.org/988174
hmm, OK, right (I forgot that I knew this).
I think it would be useful to know which qemu version(s) were used.
Is there any way to know from inside the VM?
If the issue does occur again, I think it would be useful to bring 'upstream' into the conversation. They likely can bring much more useful input into this then (f.e.) I could. Also, if upstream is made aware there is an issue (even infrequent), then they can make the most informed choice what to do with it.
Ack. Paul
