Environment

• Talos version: 1.94
• Kubernetes version: [kubectl version]
• Platform: Linode

Start by reviewing the Image Factory default Akamai image creation steps and reproducing the boot on a Linode 2GB instance. Inspect the LISH console output, especially the kernel panic reporting that the root filesystem cannot be mounted. Done means the generated image boots successfully on Linode without the reported panic.
