Hi folks, I'm having a problem with this how to; after I run the vmbuilder command; it dies with: W: Failure trying to run: chroot /tmp/tmpgV5qi2 mount -t proc proc /proc , stderr: Looking at the info the error comes from: W: Failure trying to run: chroot /tmp/tmpgV5qi2 mount -t proc proc /proc , stderr: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/vmbuilder", line 24, in <module> cli.main() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/VMBuilder/contrib/cli.py", line 216, in main distro.build_chroot() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/VMBuilder/distro.py", line 83, in build_chroot self.call_hooks('bootstrap') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/VMBuilder/distro.py", line 67, in call_hooks call_hooks(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/VMBuilder/util.py", line 165, in call_hooks getattr(context, func, log_no_such_method)(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/VMBuilder/plugins/ubuntu/distro.py", line 135, in bootstrap self.suite.debootstrap() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/VMBuilder/plugins/ubuntu/dapper.py", line 269, in debootstrap run_cmd(*cmd, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/VMBuilder/util.py", line 120, in run_cmd raise VMBuilderException, "Process (%s) returned %d. stdout: %s, stderr: %s" % (args.__repr__(), status, mystdout.buf, mystderr.buf) VMBuilder.exception.VMBuilderException: Process (['/usr/sbin/debootstrap', '--arch=amd64', 'natty', '/tmp/tmpgV5qi2', 'http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu']) returned 1. stdout: I: Retrieving Release Digging up a bit looks like that it can't mount the proc inside the chrooted environment. Any idea on how to fix this? Thanks!
Solved Ok, the kernel was the problem. It was a custom kernel installed by the hosting provider. So I apt-get install'ed the distros kernel; upgraded grub; rebooted; and done!
