You may also want to investigate on whether you are seeing a race condition with /dev/vport0p1 coming on line and cloud-early-config running. It will be indicated by a log line in the systemvm /var/log/cloud.log:
log_it "/dev/vport0p1 not loaded, perhaps guest kernel is too old." Actually, if it has anything to do with the virtio-serial socket that would probably be logged. Can you open a bug in Jira and provide the logs? On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 9:36 AM, Marcus <shadow...@gmail.com> wrote: > Can you provide more info?
