I can also reproduce the problem. The problem is that /proc mounts and unmounts before the kernel is installed, and the kernel package assumes /proc is mounted. Here's some log actions:
2012-10-19 15:39:55,701 DEBUG : ['chroot', '/virtualtmp/tmpPq2rS0', 'mount', '-t', 'proc', 'proc', '/proc'] 2012-10-19 15:40:09,171 DEBUG : ['umount', '/virtualtmp/tmpPq2rS0/proc'] 2012-10-19 15:40:19,965 DEBUG : Unpacking linux-image-3.5.0-17-generic (from .../linux-image-3.5.0-17-generic_3.5.0-17.28_i386.deb) ... Attached is a patch that worked for me. One can also work around the issue by explicitly installing linux-image-generic at an earlier stage by providing "--addpkg linux-image-generic" option to vmbuilder. ** Patch added: "an ugly hack to work around the problem" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vm-builder/+bug/1037607/+attachment/3404151/+files/usr_share_pyshared_VMBuilder_plugins_ubuntu_dapper.py.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1037607 Title: vmbuilder completely fails on Quantal due to kernel pae detection failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vm-builder/+bug/1037607/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
