Environment: incus 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 on Debian12.
I imported a split-tarball image into incus with this metadata.yaml
architecture: i686 creation_date: 1726654765 and a linux2.6.32 rootfs respecting the required structure with an /sbin/init present and empty /proc, /dev, /sys.
After this import, trying to launch the instance with incus init or incus launch fails silently. Getting it to run the /sbin/init in the rootfs at all requires writing
echo 0 > /proc/sys/abi/vsyscall32
The logs in /var/log/incus/<container_name>/console.log are
<code> mkdir: can't create directory 'tmpfs': File exists

Running incus with --debug shows no additional useful info. Dmesg does not really have any helpful debug info either. Tail of an ltrace of “incus start <faulty_container_name>” : --- SIGURG (Urgent I/O condition) ---malloc(24) - Pastebin.com .
Any help would be appreciated.
