Bug Description

I have been unable to build a functional Oneiric Virtual Machine using VMBuilder rev 470.

The command line:

./vmbuilder/vmbuilder vmserver ubuntu -c vm.cfg --debug
or:
./vmbuilder/vmbuilder vmw6 ubuntu -c vm.cfg --debug

When the virtual machine is started either in VMware Server 2.0.2 or VMware Player 3.1.4/4.0.0, the VM is stuck at a black screen with a standing white cursor on the top left of the screen just after the boot post.

Below the configuration file used:

[DEFAULT]
arch = i386
mem = 256
part = /home/user/deploy/vmbuilder/vmbuilder.partition
ip = 192.168.15.161
gw = 192.168.15.254
bcast = 192.168.15.255
user = user
name = user
pass = pass
firstboot = /home/user/deploy/vmbuilder/firstboot.sh

[ubuntu]
suite = oneiric

components = main
flavour = virtual

[vmserver]
bridge = vmnet0

Same problem here using this command line:

sudo ubuntu-vm-builder vbox oneiric --hostname=test

When booting the machine, it only shows the standing white cursor on the top left of the screen.

I'm working on it.

It appear that grub isn't well install.
I try to use grub-pc, but isn't so simple.

I find how to install grub2 with vmbuilder.

I'm working on cleaning my code and I will request a merge.
