I am bumping the criticality of this issue, because it is making fail smoke testing, which should be looked at on daily basis.

After some investigation, I think this problem has to do with the test case itself not being an adequate one for a VM. The test case fails if the VM fails to boot in under 2 mins, which when the host of the VM is overloaded with runs, doesn't happen. I think this test case should be removed, since it is affected by environmental noise.

Increase time difference to check if machine_id has been generated during boot and fix problem with slow VMs
