When I create a VM in VMware with RAM larger than 13GB for example 14GB,
the countdown of 5 seconds takes as long as 60 seconds.

The countdown of 5 seconds is normal when I change the RAM size to less
than 13GB.

I am using Debian 12.11.0-amd64 inside VMware Workstation Pro 16 on Windows
11 host.

Hi!

Hmmm, that seems odd. I've just tried and failed to reproduce this
using qemu/kvm and 16G of RAM, so this seems like a VMware-specific
issue. I'm curious: do you see a similar issue if you install another
distro, or using the Debian 13 (Trixie) RC1?
