I'm fighting with similar symptoms: - Ubuntu (Saucy) guests created with VMBuilder don't boot successfully; instead I get a grub prompt. - qemu-system-x86 uses 100% CPU and 30MB RAM. - Sometimes (but rarely) the problem magically disappears.
The host has an Intel CPU, so it doesn't seem to be the linked issue which is said to only occur for AMD CPUs. I've tried many changes related to disk configuration and boot loader, but nothing helped. Dropping back to ext3, by adding "preferred_filesystem = 'ext3'" to "saucy.py", doesn't seem to help either. (I haven't verified yet if this actually created an ext3 filesystem.) Does this sound like issue #946022? Will VMBuilder provide a fix or workaround? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/946022 Title: KVM Guest Hangs at Booting from hard disk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vm-builder/+bug/946022/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
