Need help to deploy Windows 11 custom image

Hi,

I’m trying to deploy a Windows 11 Pro custom image built with Packer on a Lenovo ThinkCentre M70q Gen3 with MAAS 3.2 UI. I use Intel AMT for power control.

The error happens at the chroot and cloud-init phase. You can see below the error stack trace in the install.log file:

    curtin: Installation failed with exception: Unexpected error while running command.
    Command: ['curtin', 'in-target', '--', 'bash', '-c', 'dpkg-query -s cloud-init || (echo "cloud-init not detected, MAAS will not be able to configure this machine properly" && exit 1)']

Please see attached the full logs (EDIT: it haven’t found a way to attach file).

Any help would be very much appreciated.

I think I’m doing some progress…

The first failure happened when I have uploaded the image with the command below:
maas admin boot-resources create name='custom/windows11-v3' title='Windows 11 Pro TGZ v3' architecture='amd64/generic' filetype='tgz' content@=windows_11-v3.tgz

After that, I have uploaded the image by just replacing custom by windows in the name (as suggested here):
maas admin boot-resources create name='windows/windows11-v3' title='Windows 11 Pro TGZ v3' architecture='amd64/generic' filetype='tgz' content@=windows_11-v3.tgz

This leads to another error:
