incus-agent fails to start in rockylinux-9 vm

[seingierf]

Hello,

The agent fails to start in a rockylinux-9 vm from the images remote.

incus init images:rockylinux/9/cloud test-rockylinux9-vm --vm
incus start test-rockylinux9-vm --console
[...]
         Starting Incus - agent...

[FAILED] Failed to start Incus - agent.
See 'systemctl status incus-agent.service' for details.

I changed the root password by chrooting into the rootfs and restarting the vm. journalctl prints the following traces:

[root@test-rockylinux9-vm ~]# journalctl -xae -u incus-agent

There is no 9p filesystem in /proc/filesystems and no 9p.ko kernel module. Is this the reason why the incus-agent fails to start? Is there a workaround?

Thanks!
