Hi all,

I have the following issue: Running on a physical host, I want to build a CentOS 7 Machine with QEMU/KVM. I'm using packer 1.3.3 and CentOS 7.6.1810 Netinstall Image.

My config file is as following:

centos7.json

After that, it just keeps on repeating the SSH handshare err message until it times out.....

Any suggestions?

What's the content of centos7-ks.cfg? And how does the console look when Packer is trying to connect to SSH? Run with headless false until it works.

So, I'm actually working behind a firewall and am not able to connect to the vnc. Is there any other way how to debug this?

Another little thing: I just posted my centos7-ks.cfg here and the message was deleted just a few minutes ago. why though?

You can install "vncsnapshot" on the machine running Packer and capture some images and transfer back. Most likely you kickstart doesn't complete correctly, the installed OS doesn't startup correctly etc. Or your SSH credentials are incorrect.

It can also be an idea to run the build locally first to get it working properly, since debugging locally is much simpler.

And by the way you can tunnel VNC over SSH.

So, after some time and other tasks I finally managed to attach my GUI to the VNC ... The only thing I can report is:
It starts the anaconda installer and returns messages like:

- Running pre-installation scripts

- Not asking for VNC because of an automated install

- Not asking for VNC because text mode explicitly asked for in kickstart

- Starting automated install ...

after that it just repeats the dots and is timing out. I've now increased the timeout and will wait until I get some proper error ....

And by the way: this is another try to post my ks ->

Oh, and I forgot to mention: The logs don't show anything since the last 10 Minutes running the instance. Last entry was:

"INFO anaconda: Thread Done: AnaStorageWatcher"

I can't see any ERROR msg or similar ...

hello

without packer, if you do a VM manually with this kickstart, does the kickstart work?

can you ssh to the vm after the reboot?

hello

is very unluckely you are hitting 100% the same issue

so will be better if you send a new email share information on what you want to do, what you have done, what work what doesnt and where you need help.

without any code or explanation, is very hard to know what need to be updated.

Alvaro.

it seeem your host is having a ip that is confusing packer

you seems to have 10.2.x ip on lo interface

replace the .HTTPIP with 192.168.4.61 on the boot command a try again

"boot_command": [

"<tab> text ks=http://192.168.4.61:{{ .HTTPPort }}/centos7-ks.cfg<enter><wait>"

Hello

The 2nd screenshot still shows the wrong ip on the network

Have you tried with a diferent packer template with a different json file?

My suggestion will be try a different project and see if works

or try a different machine
