[Bug 2062552] Re: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Cloud Image ova error during deployment

[John Chittum]

I've set this to incomplete for now. @air-awan, if you have time to give
an update related to vmware environments, let me know.

i double checked, and the addition of the serial port was requested by
the vmware team, so if it's breaking things now due to hypervisor level
issues, I'll have to sync with vmware to figure out the appropriate fix.

** Changed in: cloud-images
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Changed in: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

  It appears that .ovf file contains serial port configuration.
        <Item ovf:required="false">
          <rasd:AutomaticAllocation>false</rasd:AutomaticAllocation>
          <rasd:ElementName>serial0</rasd:ElementName>
          <rasd:InstanceID>4</rasd:InstanceID>
          <rasd:ResourceSubType>vmware.serialport.device</rasd:ResourceSubType>
          <rasd:ResourceType>21</rasd:ResourceType>
          <vmw:Config ovf:required="false" vmw:key="yieldOnPoll" vmw:value="false" />
        </Item>

  OVF file shouldn't include serial port:

  I was able to deploy the cloud image after removing serial port
  configuration from the ovf file.
