Ok, looks like your DHCP request is taking a bit more time to be served than in setups I have used. I guess starting your script with a wait loop such as: while (! ping -c 1 dk.archive.ubuntu.com); do sleep 1; done will make sure DHCP has finished its job before going any further. > I do have a workaround (introducing a sleep 1 in start of boot.sh), > but I would like an explanation and solution.

Well, it clearly does not in your case. Once you have verified that the above solution does work, if you can let us know or update the wiki page [1] which serves as a source for the documentation, it will definitely help. > For now I have create a bug: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vm-builder/+bug/391980 The wait loop could indeed be put in the calling script that vmbuilder installs... Let's discuss that in your bug. Nick
