In the above failure you need to check why the nova-compute service failed
to start. Also rocky is EOL so better to try one of the supported releases
https://www.rdoproject.org/rdo/release-cadence/.
Instead of trying all releases, let's stick to one and collect logs to
understand the issue, I would suggest you to try packsack default
installation with openstack-victoria release, and if it fails collect logs
that i asked in previous mail.

Also you can connect on Freenode IRC channel #rdo where you may get more
early responses.
