Ah, that was not too hard. In /usr/share/pyshared/VMBuilder/disk.py line 282/283, I changed: def mkfs_fstype(self): return { TYPE_EXT2: ['mkfs.ext2', '-F'], TYPE_EXT3: ['mkfs.ext3', '-F'], TYPE_XFS: ['mkfs.xfs'], TYPE_SWAP: ['mkswap'] }[self.type]
into: def mkfs_fstype(self): return { TYPE_EXT2: ['mkfs.ext2', '-F'], TYPE_EXT3: ['mkfs.ext3', '-I 128', '-F'], TYPE_XFS: ['mkfs.xfs'], TYPE_SWAP: ['mkswap'] }[self.type] This made the dapper vm boot. However, the kernel line in grub is not correct and needed to be edited during the boot: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-52-amd64-server root=/dev/hd<bound method Disk.devletters of <VMBuilder.disk.Disk object at 0x7feee257c8d0>>1 ro quiet splash -- Dapper images fail to boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285093 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
