2015-10-19 14:45:29 Holger King description Dear DIB , when using diskimage-builder (DIB: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/diskimage-builder/) to create a custom Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 QCOW2 image (see: https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channel/downloads/Download.do?cid=16952) we get a non-bootable result although the disk image building process ends successfully. The log of the disk image building run can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6btT4vDRIz_NkhScXpnV2Q4UEE/view?usp=sharing! The host where the image is built runs on RHEL 7.1 using: - dib-utils 0.0.9-1 - sfdisk 2.23.2 We've set the following environment variables to allow a proper execution and connection setup with our RHEL Satellite environment for package updates during the diskimage-builder run: - export DIB_RHSM_USER=<user> - export DIB_RHSM_PASSWORD=<password> - export DIB_SAT_URL=https://<host>.xx.xxxxx.xxx/XMLRPC - export DIB_SAT_KEY=<key_1>,<key_2> - export DIB_RHN_CHANNELS="" - export DIB_REG_TYPE=rhn - export DIB_RELEASE=6.7-20150706.0 - export DIB_CLOUD_IMAGES=file:///root - export DIB_IMAGE_SIZE=5 - export TMP_DIR=$HOME/oso The command we use to start the image creation: diskimage-builder/bin/disk-image-create --no-tmpfs -a amd64 vm rhel <custom_dib_element> -o RHEL-x86_64-openshift-origin-broker >/tmp/dib_rhel.log 2>&1 The problem seems to be the partition table writing respectively the bootloader handling.

2015-10-27 15:20:55 Holger King description Dear DIB team, 1. We are running: diskimage-builder (DIB: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/diskimage-builder/) to create a custom Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) version 6 QCOW2 image (see: https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channel/downloads/Download.do?cid=16952) on a host offering the following environment: - RHEL 7.1 - dib-utils 0.0.9-1 - sfdisk 2.23.2 (util-linux 2.23.2) 2. Reproduction is done when: We've set the following environment variables to allow a proper execution and connection setup with our RHEL Satellite environment for package updates during the diskimage-builder run: - export DIB_RHSM_USER=<user> - export DIB_RHSM_PASSWORD=<password> - export DIB_SAT_URL=https://<host>.xx.xxxxx.xxx/XMLRPC - export DIB_SAT_KEY=<key_1>,<key_2> - export DIB_RHN_CHANNELS="" - export DIB_REG_TYPE=rhn - export DIB_RELEASE=6.7-20150706.0 - export DIB_CLOUD_IMAGES=file:///root - export DIB_IMAGE_SIZE=5 - export TMP_DIR=$HOME/oso Optionally, setting break point before starting "block-device" phase in DIB: - export break=before-block-device The command we use to start the DIB image creation process (without having set the environment variable "break") diskimage-builder/bin/disk-image-create --no-tmpfs -a amd64 vm rhel <custom_dib_element> -o RHEL-x86_64-openshift-origin-broker >/tmp/dib_rhel.log 2>&1 The command es use to start the DIB image creation process (when having set the environment variable "break") diskimage-builder/bin/disk-image-create --no-tmpfs -a amd64 vm rhel <custom_dib_element> -o RHEL-x86_64-openshift-origin-broker Import the created image into OpenStack Kilo Glance via: glance image-create --name RHEL-x86_64-oso-broker --is-public true --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare < RHEL-x86_64-openshift-origin-broker.qcow2 Launch an instance of the imported image via OpenStack Horizon or OpenStack Nova and take a look on the instance's log file below: /var/lib/nova/instances/<instance_id>/console.log It'll stay empty. That documents that the image did not boot! 3. Analysis and root cause identification: The problem seems to be located within the "block-device.d" phase running outside "chroot" where the partition table writing respectively the bootloader handling seems to fail. With an activated "break=before-block-device" environment variable we could especially re-produce the same problematic log output (see https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6btT4vDRIz_NkhScXpnV2Q4UEE/view?usp=sharing) via a manual execution of the following command: dib-run-parts /root/oso/image.<identifier>/hooks/block-device.d beyond the chroot environment. This shows the problematic "sfdisk" command, too.
