Hey everybody, This is more than likely simply an OS issue but I've never seen it before except with Crowbar so I thought I would ask. Here's the background, I'm building an automatically deployed Crowbar and OpenStack environment that will boot from a USB key. I'm using CentOS 6.5 with KVM as the undercloud hypervisor and installing Ubuntu-based Crowbar 12.04 from an ISO of the latest roxy master branch via virt-install.
I have two issues: Firstly any CentOS+KVM hosted Ubuntu-based Crowbar or Crowbar-deployed OpenStack VMs are failing to reboot automatically after installation, they just shut down and have to be manually booted. Secondly the Crowbar and Crowbar-deployed OpenStack VMs underlying OS installations are failing if configured to use virtio as the disk driver vs. IDE. I believe that this is a known issue (I pretty sure the Ubuntu Crowbar preseed is configured to look for /dev/sda instead /dev/vda and CentOS KVM presents a virtio bus-based disk as vda) but what is strange is this: I can use IDE for the initial OS install but after the first reboot the OS will not boot unless I reconfigure the disk bus to virtio. I've built some automation to monitor for the shutdown of the VMs and then booting them and now I'm working on automation for reconfiguring the disk bus but I thought I would ask the list if anyone else has seen these types of issues.
