Packer getting terminated during vm creation

packer version

Packer v0.10.1

packer build packerVM.json

BaseVM output will be in this color.

==> BaseVM: Cloning source VM...

==> BaseVM: Starting virtual machine...

==> BaseVM: Waiting 10s for boot...

==> BaseVM: Connecting to VM via VNC

==> BaseVM: Typing the boot command over VNC...

==> BaseVM: Waiting for SSH to become available...

==> BaseVM: Connected to SSH!

==> BaseVM: Provisioning with shell script: scripts/base.sh

    BaseVM: [sudo] password for vagrant: Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

    BaseVM: extras           | 3.4 kB     00:00

    BaseVM: updates          | 3.4 kB     00:00

    BaseVM: Determining fastest mirrors

    BaseVM: * base: mirrors.cmich.edu

    BaseVM: * extras: mirrors.greenmountainaccess.net

    BaseVM: * updates: mirror.math.princeton.edu

    BaseVM: Resolving Dependencies

    BaseVM: --> Running transaction check

    BaseVM: ---> Package NetworkManager.x86_64 1:1.0.6-27.el7 will be updated

    BaseVM: ---> Package NetworkManager.x86_64 1:1.0.6-31.el7_2 will be an update

After this step packer terminates. When I try to run packer in debug mode I was not able to see any output and hangs near "==> BaseVM: Waiting for SSH to become available..."

I got the same issue. But In packer, there is no solution for this. If there is a solution, I think they will suggest us. They said one thing

Add   

      "keep_input_artifact": true

to the Post Processors.  I did the same but no use. So please try that. If it is working fine. Then good for your code.

Please run packer with:

PACKER_LOG=1 packer build template.json

and attach the full log output.
