[one-users] infinite boot loop

[Jurgen Weber]

Hi

I am struggling with a new OpenNebula install, I have only dealt with 
VMWare previosuly and do not have much 'vm + cloud' experience, so it 
has been a learning process over the last week to understand all of the 
concepts and what not... That said, I have a problem with OpenNebula + 
SunStone. My system so far:

# uname -a
Linux chaos 3.2.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 28 09:07:26 UTC 2012 x86_64 
GNU/Linux

ii  opennebula 3.4.1-3+b1                           controller which 
executes the OpenNebula cluster services
ii  opennebula-common 3.4.1-3                              empty package 
to create OpenNebula users and directories
ii  opennebula-sunstone 3.4.1-3                              web

ii  kvm 1:1.1.0+dfsg-3                       dummy transitional package 
from kvm to qemu-kvm
ii  qemu-kvm 1.1.0+dfsg-3                         Full virtualization on 
x86 hardware
ii  libvirt-bin 0.9.12-3                             programs for the 
libvirt library
ii  libvirt0 0.9.12-3                             library for

So, I followed the instructions found at this link: 
http://wiki.debian.org/OpenNebula/PreparingDebianVmImage and created an 
image, I did not do the contexualization part, I just create the disk 
image, booted off the CD and installed, restarted, it booted up again. 
All is well.

I then added these images into sunstone, and setup my template using them.

I am now trying to boot from this image, you will note the template and 
processor info above.

This machine, just goes into an infinite loop. It boots, it posts... I 
see "GRUB Loading. Welcome to Grub!" and then it starts all over again. 
After a while (10 minutes or so) it will stop and say "error: out of 
memory.".

I am really looking forward to getting this run, any ideas on how to 
make the VM boot up?

Thanks
