Installer failed/timed out at master-0 node config step

[oaomer]

I am trying to use this project to install OCP 4.10 on a tech zone/CECC kit. I followed the readme instructions and vars-powervm.yaml looks good to me, yet the installation continuously failed due to timeout during the TASK [nodes-config : Check connection] of master-0 node. The timeout is set to 2700s (=45min) in the vars yaml file and it waited the whole 45 minutes and then it failed.

No useful info in the logs despite elevating the log level to debug. Only seeing this block of log repeated displayed in /var/log/messages every 30 sec:

I am facing exact same issue. Any solution for this?
