Hello all, I'm able to add (>add-ro image) a newly created image (created with vmbuilder) using the guestfish shell, but unable to run it. I appear to be getting kernel panics when doing so. In trying to debug the issue, I noticed that libguestfs-test-tool also fails with a kernel panic due to sync errors. I had previously suspected an issue with the kernel file permissions but this was resolved by allowing read access. I've attached output from both running the guestfish shell, and libguestfs-test-tool. I am running Ubuntu Xenial (16.04), and guestfish 1.32.2 installed via apt. Thanks. Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide that will assist. Regards, George Koenig

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1470157#c11 on how to do that. -- Mykola Ivanets 2018-02-07 22:47 GMT+02:00 George Koenig <george.g.koenig@gmail.com>:> Hello all, > > I'm able to add (>add-ro image) a newly created image (created with > vmbuilder) using the guestfish shell, but unable to run it.
