ssh check fails for a VZ-type Debian 11 VM on MacOS 15.1

[jay7x]

Description

I see (a bit different) connectivity issues when starting VMs of VZ type on MacOS 15.1.

Debian 11 VM cannot pass the Waiting for the essential requirement 1 of 2: "ssh" stage:

INFO[0000] [hostagent] Waiting for the essential requirement 1 of 2: "ssh" 
INFO[0010] [hostagent] Waiting for the essential requirement 1 of 2: "ssh" 
INFO[0014] [hostagent] 2024/11/06 20:51:49 tcpproxy: for incoming conn 127.0.0.1:49488, error dialing "192.168.5.15:22": connect tcp 192.168.5.15:22: no route to host 
[...]

QEMU-type VM runs fine.

Does debian-12 work?

Do you see other errors in /Users/jay/.lima/d11test/*.log ?

If it doesn't boot at all, you might want to try with --video
