05/15/2025, 10:47 PMGood afternoon folks, I have been seeing an issue where on install it appears that etcd is failing to start, and the bootstrapping just loops around attemtping to connnect to etcd with no success. The image is on the server according to crictl but no pods are running, and the rke2 logs are not showing anything seemingly useful, even with hte debug flag, is there anything I can do to increase the errors being returned from the initial attemps to start etcd?

05/15/2025, 10:53 PMyou might also check the etcd logs under /var/log/pods

05/15/2025, 10:53 PM2 cores or 2 sockets?

05/15/2025, 10:53 PMthat’s a lot of memory for just 2 cores. You need at least 4 cores for a server.

05/15/2025, 10:54 PMok, i can bump it up
c
creamy-pencil-82913
05/15/2025, 10:55 PMthat’s probably not it, but thats definitely low for a server.

05/15/2025, 10:55 PMIt doesnt appear to be getting far enoiugh to create /var/log/pods
c
creamy-pencil-82913
05/15/2025, 10:56 PMdefinitely check containerd and kubelet logs then
t
tall-raincoat-70627
05/15/2025, 11:00 PMTHe only non info message is:
Copy code
time="2025-05-15T22:45:15.024459505Z" level=error msg="failed to load cni during init, please check CRI plugin status before setting up network for pods" error="cni config load failed: no network config found in /etc/cni/net.d: cni plugin not initialized: failed to load cni config"c

05/15/2025, 11:00 PMcni doesn’t get installed until later

05/15/2025, 11:00 PMkubelet and containerd are both running?

05/15/2025, 11:01 PMkublet exits when it cant contyact etcd
c

t
tall-raincoat-70627

c
creamy-pencil-82913
05/15/2025, 11:01 PMkubelet does not talk to etcd, the apiserver does
t
tall-raincoat-70627
05/15/2025, 11:01 PMok, let me try again
c
creamy-pencil-82913
05/15/2025, 11:01 PMwhat is the exact error the kubelet is exiting with
creamy-pencil-82913
05/15/2025, 11:01 PMkubelet crashlooping would definitely prevent pods from getting started

05/15/2025, 11:05 PMIf i make a change to config.yaml will that get picked up between restarts, or do i need to reinstall?
