Am seeing a similar issue with Debian guests. In my case, I am using an Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo host and a Debian 9.8 Stretch PPC64el guest. Packer is able to produce a qemu image for the guest, and I can even boot and manipulate guests with minor Vagrant tweaks on VM instances. I'm getting close to having a handy gcc ppc64el box for cross-compiling apps!
Unfortunately, when I try to export a PPC64el qemu guest as an enriched Vagrant base box, then that one refuses to boot. It appears that the vagrant-libvirt plugin somehow corrupts things on `vagrant export`, compared to how Packer exports boxes. Any tips for resolving this glitch?
