I hit the same - or very very similar - on ppc64el today.
After a:
adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud -a ppc64el -r zesty -s 20G -m
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports
Things are not working.
-serial there maps to hvc consoles.
The first is always the normal boot console and that is fine as it eventually
is a login console.
But the root console on ttyS1 socket is not set up correctly.
The second -serial argument that autopkgtest adds is mapped to hvc1 by the
guest.
That and the fact that the setup commands did not run correctly renders it
useless.
To get it working let the guest spawn a root console on hvc1 and autpkgtest
will works there:
To do so I went into the base image:
$ sudo kvm -m 2048 -smp 4 -nographic -net nic,model=virtio -net
user,hostfwd=tcp::10022-:22 -drive
file=/home/ubuntu/cpaelzer/adt-zesty-ppc64el-cloud.img,cache=unsafe,if=virtio,index=0
There I placed a modified version of the autpkgtest.service file (hvc1 instead
of ttyS1)
[Unit]
Description=autopkgtest root shell on hvc1
ConditionPathExists=/dev/hvc1
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/sh
StandardInput=tty-fail
StandardOutput=tty
StandardError=tty
TTYPath=/dev/hvc1
SendSIGHUP=yes
# ignore I/O errors on unusable hvc1
SuccessExitStatus=0 208 SIGHUP SIGINT SIGTERM SIGPIPE
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
And finally I had to explicitly enable it in this case:
$ systemctl enable autopkgtest
When reproducing with the double -serial arg set in direct invocation I could
confirm that htere is now a /bin/sh spawned on hvc1
After shutting down from that autopkgtest worked on ppc64el
