No guest network with KVM using vmbuilder

[Mark Foster]

I have seen two separate cases where vmbuilder on lucid produces a
non-working VM.
The VMs will boot but the / is read-only and there are tons of
ATA errors upon booting.
It might be the same problem.

My work-around was to use virt-install method.
