I didn't see any guests crashing, instead they all just hang finding nothing to boot.
I reduced this to just qemu (for debugging later on) but it reliably breaks finding nothing from PXE.

The bridge is the one served by MAAS and it seems there is just no PXE responding to it. Since the two other guests as started by maas+libvirt hang just the same way it most likely is a general MAAS setup issue. Please help me to get MAAS to reply the way you would usually expect it, to then be able to go on with debugging. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797581 Title: Composing a VM in MAAS with exactly 2048 MB RAM causes the VM to kernel panic Status in MAAS: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Using latest MAAS master, I'm unable to compose a VM over the UI successfully when composed with 2048 MB of RAM.
