After failing to get things to work on a Ubuntu 14.04 host I build a fedora 21 environment to see if Ubuntu may have been the problem and didn't get quite as far so here's an official report per the FAQ directions:

- Trying to get guests to build and have network access so package management actions can be done before uploading to openstack image service.

- I ran ./run virt-builder fedora-18 -v -x (also tried fedora-21, same issue)

- Using supermin 5.1.2, libguestfs 1.29.29 both built from source on fedora 21 host with all updates. "yum-builddep libguestfs" was run first to pull dependencies.

Short version is that I get a bunch of Invalid module format errors then supermin waiting for /sys/block/sdb/dev to appear and it never does. Full output attached. [...] supermin: internal insmod libcrc32c.ko.xz insmod: init_module: libcrc32c.ko.xz: Invalid module format [ 1.234236] input: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input2 supermin: waiting another 1024000000 ns for /sys/block/sdb/dev to appear supermin: waiting another 2048000000 ns for /sys/block/sdb/dev to appear supermin: waiting another 4096000000 ns for /sys/block/sdb/dev to appear supermin: waiting another 8192000000 ns for /sys/block/sdb/dev to appear supermin: waiting another 16384000000 ns for /sys/block/sdb/dev to appear supermin: waiting another 32768000000 ns for /sys/block/sdb/dev to appear supermin: waiting another 65536000000 ns for /sys/block/sdb/dev to appear supermin: waiting another 131072000000 ns for /sys/block/sdb/dev to appear

These errors are caused because supermin isn't compiled with xz-static support. Did you compile supermin by hand? There's a version in Fedora itself which should work fine. If you're building it by hand, then most likely you didn't run `yum-builddep supermin' first to install all the build dependencies, including the optional ones such as xz.
