[Bug 726790] [NEW] python-vm-builder-0.12.4+bzr462-0ubuntu1: swap partitions fail to be created properly when "lucid" is the target

[Randy Barlow]

Public bug reported:

I am using version 0.12.4+bzr462-0ubuntu1 in Ubuntu Natty. I've noticed
that when I build a lucid virtual machine, it complains during boot.

During build, I see this in the build log:

2011-02-28 15:36:01,700 INFO    : Adding type 3 partition to disk image: /tmp/tmpnFjJJ2
2011-02-28 15:36:01,707 INFO    : [0] ../../libparted/filesys.c:148 (ped_file_system_type_get): File system alias linux-swap(new) is deprecated

2011-02-28 15:36:14,592 INFO    :         on whole disk. Use -f to force.

At the end of the build log, there is a traceback:

None of this happens when I do not specify a swap partition. This also
doesn't happen when I build a hardy machine (I've only tried hardy and
lucid as targets)

Once you boot the machine, you will see this message:

The disk drive for /dev/sda2 is not ready yet or not present
Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery

Let me know if you need any further information!
