When guestfsd exits, or the user exits the virt-rescue shell, the init script exits which causes the kernel to panic. This isn't really a functional issue, as all useful work is done by this point. However, it does cause virt-rescue to display an unsightly error message.
This patch causes the appliance to power off cleanly before the init script exits. Note it actually does a reboot rather than a poweroff. This is because ACPI is disabled in the appliance, meaning poweroff doesn't work, but qemu is configured not to restart on reboot. --- appliance/init | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)
