@mcginty Would it be possible to update the image to the latest revision? 🙏
Also curious if the images can be pushed to http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os

@kairveeehh How do you intend to work on this? The Lima project doesn't publish OS images itself. We rely on the various distros (or their communities) to publish up-to-date images with cloud-init support.

isee then it was a confusion from my side , I thought it has to be done the opposite way so would update as per the issue, my bad 😅
Only the mentioned person can probably do this, as it's being taken from a url mentioned which will be updated .

I tried to update the image but all the other issues that are mentioned here like #858 or #2866 will not be fixed using latest packages. Something fundamental seems to be wrong with the boot process or maybe boot components.
I guess there is an issue with vz and UEFI in the early boot process.

Using it directly with qemu-system-aarch64 works fine. I will share in the coming days a workaround how you can build a working image.
