NKP Node OS Image UEFI to Legacy BIOS in NKP Starter

Hello, I have been testing the NKP Starter in my LAB with Nutanix Community and encountered failures in creating the NKP cluster. The deployment of the NKP Cluster uses the NKP Node OS Image in UEFI mode, which, as many know, has an issue if the VM is created with the default network card in the Community Edition CE 2.1 and UEFI Boot. A workaround is to change the network card to the e1000 model, but doing this during the NKP deployment can cause your task to hang. So, in several attempts, I was able to quickly change the network card in time for the cluster creation command to complete the infrastructure deployment operations. NKP Node OS Image (Rocky Linux 9.5-release-1.32.3-20250430150550) for AHV( Version: v2.15.0 ) Is there any way to provide an instruction for the NKP to deploy the infrastructure with Legacy BIOS or to build an NKP Node OS Image without UEFI? It is mentioned in the documentation that the NKP Node OS Image cannot be customized in the NKP Starter version.

nkp 2.15 has error in git repository.

Version 2.15 reports events “unable to clone 'https://github.com/mesosphere/dkp-catalog-applications': couldn't find remote ref "refs/tags/2.15.0"Inspecting the github source shows that this version number is not available as a tag but as a release. After changing the config to apiVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta2kind: GitRepositorymetadata: name: nkp-catalog-applications namespace: kommanderspec: interval: 1m url: https://github.com/mesosphere/dkp-catalog-applications ref: branch: release-2.15 # Use the branch name instead of a taga lot of things start deploying

NKP installer system whoes

During the installation of the NKP cluster you need to set an IP-address for the CONTROL_PLANE_ENDPOINT. Unfortunately the rocky linux node (nkp-rocky-9.5-release-1.31.4-20250409153435.qcow2) also tries to obtain an IP-adress via DHCP on the same nic. As a result the nic gets 2 IP-addresses in the same subnet (1 from the installer and 1 from the DHCP)  and reports back to nkp with the DHCP address. This results in a failing install of nkp cluster.
