vmbuilder strange outcome

[Dan Sheffner]

So I run this command with vmbuilder without tmpfs since I want this machine
persistent.

vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite=lucid --flavour=virtual --arch=amd64 --mirror=
http://192.168.1.4/ubuntu -o --libvirt=qemu:///system --ip=192.168.1.50
--gw=192.168.1.1 --part vmbuilder.partition --user=user --name=user
--pass=pass --addpkg=wget --addpkg=cron --addpkg=vim --addpkg=ntp
--addpkg=ntpdate --addpkg=ssh --addpkg=xvfb --addpkg=build-essential
--addpkg=linux-headers-virtual --addpkg=locate --addpkg=postfix
--addpkg=vpnc --addpkg=acpid --addpkg=clamav --addpkg=chkrootkit
--addpkg=rkhunter --addpkg=apache2 --addpkg=openssl  --mem=512
--hostname=vm00 --bridge=br0

I start the vm and it runs fine:

Then I start another vm that I want to do testing on with tmpfs:

vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite=lucid --flavour=virtual --arch=amd64 --mirror=
http://192.168.1.4/ubuntu -o --libvirt=qemu:///system --tmpfs=-
--ip=192.168.1.51 --gw=192.168.1.1 --part vmbuilder.partition --user=user
--name=user --pass=pass --addpkg=wget --addpkg=cron --addpkg=vim
--addpkg=ntp --addpkg=ntpdate --addpkg=ssh --addpkg=xvfb
--addpkg=build-essential --addpkg=linux-headers-virtual --addpkg=locate
--addpkg=postfix --addpkg=vpnc --addpkg=acpid --addpkg=clamav
--addpkg=chkrootkit --addpkg=rkhunter  --mem=512 --hostname=vm01
--bridge=br0

I start the vm and it runs fine as well.

I then do a reboot on the actual server running both virtual machines.  When
the server comes backup vm01 is running and vm00 is not.  Then when I try to
start vm00 I get:

 Id Name                 State
----------------------------------
  1 vm01                 running
  - vm00                 shut off

virsh # start vm00
error: Failed to start domain vm00
error: monitor socket did not show up.: Connection refused

Maybe I'm missing something trivial.  Please let me know.

here is my /etc/libvirt/qemu/vm00.xml
