This issue was originally opened by @sreekanth-ragi in hashicorp/packer#12125 and has been migrated to this repository. The original issue description is below.

Packer Version: 1.8.4
QEMU emulator version 2.11.1(Debian 1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.40)
Rocky-9.0-20220808.0-x86_64-dvd.iso

Trying to build Rocky 9 image using ISO with static IP assignment, but getting issues with packer not being able to SSH into the guest VM. I can login to the guest VM directly by using VNC.

If do not provide the flags for net configuration, then everything is working fine. I want to understand if the process I'm following to assign the gues VM with a specific IP Address is correct or am I missing additional steps that would make this work.

    }

Seeing the following error.

Hi, you can try to change the qemuargs block as mentioned in the documentation https://developer.hashicorp.com/packer/plugins/builders/qemu#qemuargs

"qemuargs": [
              ["-cpu", "host"],
              ["-netdev", "user,id=user.0,",
               "hostfwd=tcp::{{ .SSHHostPort }}-:22,",
               "net=10.210.240.0/24,",
               "dhcpstart=10.210.240.9",
               ""
              ],
              ["-device", "virtio-net,netdev=user.0"]
            ]
