Hello, i believe the problem you're experiencing is due to the lack of serial port on the vm provisioned by openstack.
By default Openstack vmware module doesn't add a virtual serial interface to the VM, and this can cause issues with some linux images. To verify this you can either manually add a serial interface directly on the newly created vm. If this is the case you can add the following lines to /etc/nova/nova.conf: [vmware] serial_port_service_uri = vSPC.py serial_port_proxy_uri = telnet://172.16.6.33:13370 This force nova to add a serial interface to the VM and force the out to a virtual serial port server, which in may case happens to be this one "https://sourceforge.net/p/vspcpy/code/ci/master/tree/"; and runs on the address 172.16.6.33 port 13370. You can refer to this "https://review.openstack.org/#/c/149203/"; for more informations. Hope it helps.
