I recently migrated my Container VM, which is running Debian 12 (Bookworm), over to a (libvert?) VM using the documented method. The disk / volume copied without issue, and I was able to create the new VM.
When I boot the new VM, the following messages are visible from the Serial Console, and the VM does not come online:
rootfs: clean, 440235/63936000 files, 11041793/131046139 blocks

I googled this, and it appears to be a driver issue? The only two NICs available are VirtIO and Intel e1000 - how can I get the VM to load the network and boot properly?
Thank you for your help!
Logs attached, if this helps:

Edit: I should note this is on 25.04.2.5, I have not moved to 25.10 yet.
Looking deeper into this, it looks like there is a package that needs to be installed prior to migrating the Incus container over to the VM volume.
apt install wireless-regdb
I had a backup of my Incus image, so I restored from that, got it up and running (I had to un-set the pool and re-set it under Containers before it would let me import it), then installed the package.
When I boot now, I no longer get the platform regulatory.0, but I’m running into other issues. I’ll make a new post (below) as it’s new information.
I was able to resolve the initial issue, but the migrated VM is still not attaching to the network when I boot it. After doing the migration from Container to VM Zvol, then configuring the VM, when I boot the VM, I get the following:
Loading initial ramdisk ...

It’s still not connecting to the network. I have a VirtIO NIC configured, connected to br0. Removing it and re-adding the NIC has no change. Not sure what else I can try to get the VM to connect to the network?
I have the Incus image restored and running again, so if I need to make any changes pre-migration, I can do that and try migrating it (again).
