There are a couple of thing you could do:
- Don't rely too heavily on name resolution.
- Use --firstboot* scripts instead, since they genuinely run in guest
context, and should therefore work more like you expect.
Thanks, I'll try these. I actually tried several other options like:
--upload /home/leer/resolv.conf:/etc/resolv.conf
--write /etc/resolv.conf:"nameserver 172.16.12.1"
--run-command "echo 'nameserver 172.16.12.1' > /etc/resolv.conf"
--copy-in /home/leer/resolv.conf:/etc/resolv.conf
The first three all failed with some variant on "'/etc/resolv.conf': No
such file or directory". The fourth apparently has been removed from
this version or was not compiled in.
Also I believe what I thought was scrollback buffer corruption is
actually virt-customize making changes to the virtual as I noticed the
md5sum of the image changed after each failed attempt.
Thanks again,
Lee
