Fedora 38 AMI does not work with the Allocation module

[davidcr01]

Description

While working on wazuh/wazuh#24855, we have detected that the AWS instances launched with the Allocation module (and also provisioning the instances directly in the AWS console) that the Fedora 38 AMI is not working. It seems that the machine is having some errors while booting the system:

Press Enter for maintenance

⚠️ This makes the machine inaccessible, so currently we can not provide this system. It is necessary to re-create the AMI and update the Allocation module.

Note

We have ensured that the problem is not related to the userData script.

Update report

I've been trying to recreate the Fedora 38 image and I keep running into connection issues after starting the instance with the new AMI, I'll continue investigating what's going on.

[c-bordon]

I continue to have problems when trying to boot the new AMI created from the Fedora 37 AMI upgraded to Fedora 38, so I decided to change the approach, I made a virtual machine with the Fedora 38 iso and I am in the process of importing it into AWS, the image has not yet finished processing.

This AMI will not be used in future testing, so there is no need to create it.
