[Bug 575839] [NEW] VMs built with vm-builder won't run

[Marcus Bointon]

Public bug reported:

I'm running vmbuilder 0.12.3-0ubuntu1 on Lucid server. vmbuilder
apparently runs and assembles a machine image without error, but the
resulting VM just doesn't run properly, going extremely slowly (about 50
mins to reach a login prompt, though login isn't possible as it doesn't
respond to keystrokes), listing multiple errors on boot (see screen
shots - ignore the ^[[[A bits, they are just stray keystrokes). It also
reports "soft lockup" errors like in bug 333201.

Linux myserver 2.6.32-21-server #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 09:17:34 UTC
2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The build command I'm using is:

--suite lucid \
--flavour virtual \
--arch amd64 \
--libvirt qemu:///system \
--hostname vm2 \
--user user \
--name user \
--pass default \
--ip 192.168.0.100 \
--dest ./vm2

I think this is a vmbuilder problem because KVM machine images obtained
from elsewhere run fast and trouble-free on the same server and
environment using the same kvm config, so the only difference is the
image file. This may be down to JeOS itself - vmbuilder may just be
passing on its problems - but I don't know how to diagnose that.
