Generating an IBU seed image on a SNO 4.19.0-ec.1 succeeds, but the SeedGenerator CR is in a failed state, specifically:

- lastTransitionTime: "2025-01-30T10:15:47Z"
  message: 'Seed generation failed: imager container status check failed: expected container status exited, found: stopped'

Seed image generation is executed via systemd-run and a container (podman run). LCA expects the container's exit code to be 0 (success) and its status to be 'exited', but in this case the status is shown as 'stopped'. The latter leads to the SeedGenerator CR being in a failed state, although the respective seed image generation container succeeded.
