Can you open a GH issue, and attach the rke2-server logs and everything from /var/log/pods? The messages you quoted are all normal to see while things are initially starting up. Also, the master role label is automatically set by rke2 on servers, why are you specifying it manually?

thanks! will create a issue for this. but for the rke2-sever logs, there is a lot

i understand what it means - put them in a kubelet config file and use

--config

pointing to the file, instead of directly specifying them to

kubelet-args

. however, i never explicitly specify them. is this expected? lastly, after i remove the

<http://node-role.kubernetes.io/master|node-role.kubernetes.io/master>

label, the rke2-server installation succeeded.

Yes the warnings about flags being deprecated is to be expected.

thanks for the info. i didn't know it's set automatically, it's not necessary
