I can't see from the logs what kernel they are trying to use, but that's going to be a problem. Strongly suggest: (a) Switch to libguestfs from git, since the version you are using is 8 months old, and I completely changed how DTBs are handled in the latest version. (b) Don't run stuff as root. (c) With the version from git, do: ./configure rm -rf tmp/.guestfs-* make clean make make quickcheck and let us see the complete log of that.
