Sean, Specifically what versions of SVM are you running? Do you see a splash screen and when you press enter or wait for time out - for this issue to occur?
0) if splash screen is seen and you can make changes to boot linux, remove the "quiet" flag from initrd line to see if you can get more meaningful errors 1) I would suggest to change the storage controllers to see if it makes any difference. 2) I've seen in past " GRUB loading stage2" error would occur when grub.conf reference initrd or kernel version that no longer exists (filename mismatch). Go into the edit mode, remove the version in front of initrd and vmlinuz and try to use auto-completion (TAB-TAB) to complete the filename and boot again. 3) If nothing helps, I would have tried to boot it into a single user mode with linux rescue disk and reinstall grub - just to confirm if its grub related or something else. Let me know how it goes, Regards ilya > -----Original Message----- > From: Sean Truman [mailto:stru...@gmail.com] > Sent: Monday, May 06, 2013 12:16 PM > To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org > Subject: System VM's hanging > > All, > > My system VM's are hanging at GRUB loading stage2.. using KVM as > hypervisor any idea why this is happening? > > v/r > Sean
