[one-users] Getting closer

[Héctor Sanjuán]

Hi,

well it looks you're almost there :)

I see that you declared a ROOT argument in the OS section in your VM
template. However I think it is not necessary for KVM and unless you
have specified a kernel [1]. Maybe the problem comes from there.

If not, can you paste the output of "oneimage show 1"? Maybe there is
something missing in the image template...

Hope it helps,

Hector
