[Bug 1183429] [NEW] Hang on login after booting armhf container

[Rune K. Svendsen]

Public bug reported:

I create an armhf container using the following command:

    sudo lxc-create -n armhf01 -t ubuntu — -a armhf -r precise

I then start it like so:

    sudo lxc-start -n armhf01

It boots up, shows a lot of

    <process name> main process terminated with status <num>

messages on the console (which I've read are fine)

and I arrive at the login prompt, where I try to log in with the default
ubuntu/ubuntu login. After entering this information, the following
information is output to the terminal:

    Last login: Thu May 23 15:24:20 UTC 2013 on lxc/console
    Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 2.6.32 armv7l)
    
     * Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com/

and it just sits there, with a blinking cursor.

The machine is running, I can see with lxc-ls:

    NAME     STATE    IPV4        IPV6  AUTOSTART  
    ---------------------------------------------
    armhf01  RUNNING  10.0.3.211  -     NO         

although it doesn't seem to have gotten a LAN IP.

If I try to login via ssh, it also hangs, but this is aborted after a
while with a "broken pipe" message:

    The authenticity of host '10.0.3.211 (10.0.3.211)' can't be established.
    ECDSA key fingerprint is 36:bd:9d:98:a3:d6:2a:fc:9f:f2:33:a8:00:46:17:9e.
    Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
    Warning: Permanently added '10.0.3.211' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
    ubuntu at 10.0.3.211's password: 
    Write failed: Broken pipe

I'm attaching the debug output file created by starting the container
like so:

    sudo lxc-start -n armhf01 -l debug -o output
