HI,

I followed the ubuntu KVM documentation (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM) and used the ubuntu-vm-builder to create the virtual machine image file root.qcow2, as well as a script file. I invoked the script file to boot the virtual machine, however, the vnc screen shows a few lines and said Booting from Hard Disk... and then hangs. My commands are:

sudo ubuntu-vm-builder kvm hardy
cd ~/ubuntu-vm-hardy-amd64
sh ubuntu.kvm

Is this the right way to boot the virtual machine? Why does it hang?

However, if I use the virt-manager to create a new virtual machine from an iso image, everything works. Any help, please?

Hey,

I think you and I are doing the same thing wrong, what ever that is.

I have the exact same problem.

In the virtual window, it just says....

Booting from hard drive...

And goes no further.

If you figure it out or get help, please post here.

Host OS: Ubuntu Desktop 8.04.3 LTS (Hardy)
H/W: AMD64 (Virtual support IS enabled in BIOS)
RAM: 6Gig
Guest OS: Ubuntu JEOS from the wiki page at Ubuntu
