Hello

Any hint please during the import

1) Image type: should I select QCOW2 (not VMDK or OCI), right?

2) And should I select Paravirtualized mode (not Emulated mode or Native mode), right?

Asking here because I have errors every time whatever options I select. Tried with the most recent QCOW2 files as well as with your choice of distro.

And... I managed to reproduce your success with the deployment of Debian by selecting the following build

debian-10-genericcloud-amd64-20211011-792.qcow2

Exactly this variant with ...cloud... in the name allowed me to bypass all the issues and proceed further with Debian smoothly running on Oracle always-free tier (Shape: VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro)
