[Bug 358098] Re: vmbuilder hangs or crashes when building images on ec2 instances

[Cap Petschulat]

That is correct. It may well be a problem with the images, but I have a
few datapoints that make me wonder:

1. The problem persists across different images from different AMI
authors; I've tried a few different versions of hardy and intrepid AMIs
with similar results.

2. The problem seems specific to creating hardy images; as I said,
intrepid images build, mostly, and fail to a different problem; I think
reading some bug reports or throwing a few hours at the problem, I could
get intrepid images built. So in this sense vmbuilder works for some
settings and fails for others.

Neither rules out a problem in the AMIs or Amazon in general, sure, but
it seems sketchy.

I'm happy to dig in a bit further, provide more information, or redirect
to an appropriate group, but on my own I don't quite know where to go
next. When I saw process hangs with 100% cpu use on what appeared to be
an innocuous perl call, I knew this was a problem a bit deeper than I
know how to handle without another day or several days of serious
dedication. Pointers are most welcome!
