Public bug reported: I tried to create an KVM Ubuntu 11.10 guest running on an Ubuntu 11.10 host by running:
sudo vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --verbose --config new_vm.cfg My new_vm.cfg: [DEFAULT] arch=amd64 cpus=2 mem=4096 ip=192.168.1.10 mask=255.255.255.0 net=192.168.0.0 bcast=192.168.1.255 gw=192.168.1.1 dns=192.168.1.1 bridge=br0 user=username name=realname pass=password part=/home/chris/vmbuilder.partition tmpfs=- firstboot=/tmp/firstboot.sh firstlogin=/tmp/firstlogin.sh hostname=new_vm [ubuntu] suite=oneiric flavour=server addpkg=openssh-server, apache2, apache2-mpm-prefork, apache2-utils, apache2.2-common, dbconfig-common, wwwconfig-common, postgresql-9.1, unattended-upgrades, acpid, ntp [kvm] libvirt=qemu:///system My vmbuilder.partition: root 8000 swap 4000 --- /var 120000 My firstboot.sh: #!/bin/bash passwd -e username rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host*key* dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive -pcritical openssh-server My firstlogin.sh: #!/bin/bash sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup The command seemed to complete without error, so then I ran: sudo virsh --connect qemu:///system start new_vm At this point, KVM consumes 100% CPU, but the VM doesn't seem to boot. I used virt-manager to connect to the VM's console, and all it says is "Booting from hard disk" and it doesn't seem to proceed. I waited 30 minutes, but nothing changes. I tried with flavour=virtual, but the result is the same.
