OpenWrt on GNS3 cannot connect to console

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi there. I am trying to play with OpenWRT in the newest GNS3 2.2.33.1 on Ubuntu 22.04. The appliance is https://www.gns3.com/marketplace/appliances/openwrt-2 with image openwrt-21.02.1-x86-64-generic-ext4-combined.img. The router starts normally (I see qemu process taking CPU), but the console isn't connecting, and the screen is empty.

The strange thing is that it is working on the other computer with an identical setup. All other QEMU-based appliances are working correctly (RouterOS, VyOS, etc). Any hint?

do you see the grub boot loader ui ?

if not, then the issue's someplace else ...

Thank you @frollic. I have just found that my OpenWRT image was somehow erroneous. I copied the image from the working GNS3 on another computer and now it is working properly.
