When you setup the system did you have it go out and get SSH public keys?

You should be able to log in as username: rancher, password: whatever you set the password to during installation. If that doesn't work, try logging in with username: rancher, password: rancher. If that works, it indicates that the elemental service was somehow unable to apply the system configuration (hostname, password, etc.) on boot. I've seen that happen in the past when there's been corrupt or messed up yaml in one of the files in the

/oem

directory. If you're able to log in as rancher:rancher, try

sudo -s

then

journalctl

and look for errors in there, particularly from elemental. Or... Something else is wrong. It's weird that you're seeing failures to start sshd. If you're able to log in somehow I'd be interested to see why that failed (check

systemctl status sshd.service

). I'm also surprised the hostname is shown as "localhost"...
