I have installed packstack (--allinone) inside a Virtualbox guest running CentOS 6.4, but when I create an instance, the final state is Error.
When I go into the instance console log, it shows:
Unable to get log for instance abc123
Question 1: Does packstack work when installed on a virtualbox guest?
Question 2: How can I get more debug information to find out what is going wrong?
There was lots of debug output. This error captured my attention:
internal error no supported architecture for os type 'hvm'
Changing the libvirt_type fixed the issue:
sed -i 's/^libvirt_type=kvm/libvirt_type=qemu/g' /etc/nova/nova.conf
Credit to larsks for pointing me in the right direction.
Hi mate, can I ask you a quick question if you dont mind. Im having the exact same issue as you in opening post, I have done sed -i 's/^libvirt_type=kvm/libvirt_type=qemu/g' /etc/nova/nova.conf as you did, Problem still persists cirros vm craps out, how many nics did you give your packstack vm in virtualbox ? I have only 1, host-only, sitting behind a pfSense vm acting as router, I think this is wrong. Can I ask how you network configured your vm. Thanks

OpenStack can certainly run inside VirtualBox, so I imagine Packstack should work just fine (but I haven't tested that). You can get more logging by abling "debug=True" in your /etc/nova/nova.conf and restarting Nova services.
Packstack seems to have set debug=True already. There are so many messages in /var/log/nova/* that I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment ...
