This issue has shown up on both regular LAVA job and the ones I submitted manually by myself:

Regular LAVA Job:
https://validation.linaro.org/dashboard/streams/private/team/linaro/ci-linux-linaro-stable-lsk/bundles/245598b650913cb70354f462a096916a2205bbd5/

My own submissions:
https://validation.linaro.org/dashboard/streams/anonymous/botao-sun/bundles/8f9207c567e0c28ac5ec3413740da36035fd24f7/
https://validation.linaro.org/dashboard/streams/anonymous/botao-sun/bundles/12b0dcc7d566f59eaeabb2ea21a6133cea2db439/

There are some different issues in above testing.

1. In that LAVA regular testing job, a boot failure happened there:
https://validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/119782/log_file#L_9_37

Retry count exceeded; starting again
*** ERROR: `ipaddr' not set
*** ERROR: `ipaddr' not set
*** ERROR: `ipaddr' not set
Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!
Highbank #<LAVA_DISPATCHER>2014-04-08 07:56:05 PM WARNING: pexpect timed out, pass with status fail

<lava_dispatcher.utils.logging_spawn object at 0x33325d0>

And this only happened when run ltp, because after that all other test suites ran well.

2. In the first submission I did by myself, with only ltp in yaml, it shows a configure error:
https://validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/119857/log_file#L_19_9340

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: newly created file is older than distributed files!

<LAVA_TEST_RUNNER>: 0_ltp installer failed, exiting
hwcontext swcontext
<LAVA_TEST_RUNNER>: calling sync
<LAVA_TEST_RUNNER>: exiting

3. In the second submission I did, as a duplicate yaml file as LAVA regular job, I got different failure there:
https://validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/119856/log_file#L_19_2

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

The plan is to remove highbank so I'm not sure it's worth worrying about this?
