Package: vmdebootstrap Version: 0.3-1 Hello,
I just tried to build an image of current sid for running autopkgtests in: $ sudo vmdebootstrap --verbose --serial-console --distribution=sid --user=adt/adt --size=2000000000 --mbr --image=adt-sid.raw This worked in the past, but now they are stuck in a boot failure loop; $ kvm -m 2048 -snapshot -drive file=adt-sid.raw,if=virtio -monitor none -nographic -serial stdio [...] Begin: Loading essential drivers ... done. Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ... done. Begin: Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... done. Begin: Running /scripts/local-premount ... done. Begin: Checking root file system ... fsck from util-linux 2.25.1 fsck: error 2 (No such file or directory) while executing fsck.ext4 for /dev/vda1 fsck exited with status code 8 done. Failure: An automatic file system check (fsck) of the root filesystem failed. A manual fsck must be performed, then the system restarted. The fsck should be performed in maintenance mode with the root filesystem mounted in read-only mode. Warning: The root filesystem is currently mounted in read-only mode. A maintenance shell will now be started. After performing system maintenance, press CONTROL-D to terminate the maintenance shell and restart the system. sulogin: cannot open password database!

This might be a regression from recent util-linux, or some misconfiguration, or incompatibility with extlinux, not sure. fsck.ext4 definitively exists (i. e. e2fsprogs is installed), and /dev/vda1 also exists; it's also apparently able to map the root UUID to /dev/vda1. I also tried with --grub; image generation succeeds and it says Configuring grub2 Installing extlinux Cleaning up at the end, but booting in qemu doesn't work at all (there's not a single message). That's a different bug/report, but I wanted to mention it. Thanks, Martin -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org)
