      Hi,

      OCP 4.20 installation is successful, but systemd-network-generator.service is failing.

      I tried SNO installation, however I have also seen this behavior in other clusters.
      This is required for proper installation of OCP, so I think this is cosmetic issue rather.
      Still we need to resolve this to look clean.
