Node is unable to sync

[Inderdeep01]

Description

I was following the official Hyperledger guide to set up a private network using IBFT 2.0. I want my network to have zero gas fee. I am facing this issue(attached screenshot). Can you please figure this out?

Expected behavior: Nodes should be able to sync and produce blocks

Actual behavior: Unable to find sync target.

Frequency: Every time

@jframe ok 👍

I've merged a change that fixes this issue into main. You can test it out by using the develop build of Besu. Or wait for the next release of Besu.

I've tested it. It works. Thank you very much :)
