It seems like you've run through a complete installation already. Are
you re-installing OSCAR on the machine? That can cause problems. If
you have file system errors, then that would likely cause problems
during an image build. Did you download any additional OSCAR packages
with OPD? When you click the Build Image button, is the GUI still
responsive? Nothing happens in the terminal?
