Encountered error with sysbox installation for Ubuntu2204 AMI (ami-00437f3eed7a355f7)

Hi Sysbox, I encountered the following error and it seems like a module is missing.

Is it related to the AMI?

Hi @bobby-lin-cdc,

Is it related to the AMI?

Yes, seems like Sysbox is looking for the kernel's configfs module but it's not present in the AMI's kernel image.

I have to double-check if Sysbox really needs that module though. At one point it did, but I think it may no longer need it. If that's the case, then we will remove the dependency.

@bobby-lin-cdc, we have a fix for this one here. Our next release (in a few days) will incorporate it.
