I've created a new BYOL ASAv on AWS using an m4 machine type and it's having problems starting.
It performs the initial boot, platform type detection etc, then restarts. However, it then hangs on the screen below. It's been like it for about 20 minutes so far. I have two different AWS accounts (completely different organisations) and it's having the same problem on each one.

Hello rs101,
Have you provisioned the correct number of interfaces?
Also confirm you have the correct machine type on AWS with ASAv compatibility table below:

The instance was created by AWS Marketplace, using the defaults of the Cisco template.
It uses a c4.large machine - one of the approved types - which only supports 2 network interfaces.
But it doesn't even get as far as detecting interfaces. It hangs after the 'Booting the kernel' message.

Unfortunately you can't rely on the EC2 console output. Have you looked at the instance state to see if it's running and that the Status Checks show 2/2? It can take several minutes to get the ASAv running so that you can connect to it via SSH.

Ouch! We try our best but sometime public cloud limitations make it difficult. :(

I am facing the same with EVE, any one solved this issue

Just in case anyone is facing this issue today in EVE-NG, the method that worked for me was:
1) Firstly change the Console method of the ASAv to "vnc"
2) Boot up the node
3) Let it load until you see the message "Lina to use serial port /dev/ttyS0 for console IO"
4) Power down the node
5) Change the Console method back to "telnet"
6) Power on node
The ASAv node should now load all the way until you can type commands (ie - "ciscoasa#")
Hope this helps anyone still struggling with this issue.
