Public bug reported: I'd very much like to use the official cloud images from cloud- images.ubuntu.com on the Brightbox cloud, but I can never get them to boot properly in KVM.
If the disk is resized then the VM always crashes with a kernel panic. Process is as follows: On a Precise Host running libvirt. - wget http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/quantal/current/quantal-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img - sudo cp quantal-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img /var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img - sudo qemu-img resize /var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img 20G - virsh create test.xml If you view the console in virt-manager you'll find that the kernel has panicked on the disk remount after resizing. Issuing a 'virsh reset srv-7867c' causes the boot to progress normally. Similarly if the disk isn't resized the boot progresses normally. You get the same problem with: - all the standard images - with varying degrees of feedback in the failure message. - using the RHEL6 version of libvirt and kvm - if you remove the virtio from the disk stanza and replace with ide emulation. Any ideas?
