Comment 8 for bug 992075

I am having this same issue. I set up a box as a maas server and could not get any of the vm nodes on Virtual box to finish commissoning so i set up another box on a junker comp and started from scratch. Out of three tests on VB they all subscribed and after acceptance finished the enrollment (ready). One machine i ran from an XCP box stopped giving the init killed error exactly as above with one exception. after the kill message i would also get an ISOFS type unknown which told me that it could not read or mount the iso image. so i fired up the original maas server and the test machine took right off and finished the process after restarting .

Could these errors be that after the ram disk is loaded that the install media isnt getting mounted because it is unreadable for whatever reason so the whole process just times out ? at least in my case that seemed to be the problem with the one node.

One other point on the XCP box even when i tried to load a system with the physical dvd when ubuntu got to the "discover and mount dvd" portion of the install I got the same error --installation failed could not mount cd . which makes me wonder if there could be a problem with the installer image when using hypervisors. the xcp box runs 4 vm's all day long and has never had a problem installing from cd or dvd even when installing from an iso SR . The ubuntu server/maas wouldnt install at all SR or DVD or automatically from the 2nd maas server
