I am trying to use VMWare studio to build a virtual appliance which will be using CentOS 6.3. I have started the process by creating a new VM Profile. Since CentOS 6.3 is not supported by default i have used studiocli to create a new OS. I also modified the build_profile.xml to change the iso location, checksum and metadata path.
While building the studio is able to install packages and the VM login prompt appears (checked via console), but VM studio still thinks the installation process is completed. The following message confirms that
12/12/2012 07:03:13 [info] Waiting for the transient VM to boot up. |
12/12/2012 07:04:23 [info] Transient VM <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (MAC address: 00:0C:29:3A:A3:85)> is now active. |
After 20-30 min, the studio says the build is failed with the below message
2/12/2012 07:04:23 [info] Transient VM <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(MAC address: 00:0C:29:3A:A3:85)> is now active. |

I tried this VM studio 2.5 & 2.6 and the same problem persist. I am able to login to the VM (via console) with root / root. The password i have given in the profile is not picked up. I need help in how to resolve this build failure. Attached the build_profile i have used.
Thanks
