Centos 7 VM hangs during boot
Posted: 2018/01/05 20:00:06
I am running a centos 7 VM in KVM/Qemu on Fedora 27 Server.
The VM will boot. I can boot to the rescue kernel. If I try to boot the normal kernel I see a series of messages saying
dracut-initqueue[271]: Waning: dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout scripts
I see this over and over for a while then it hits
[OK] Started dracut initqueue hook.
[OK] Reached target Remote File Systems (Pre).
[OK] Reached target Remote File Systems.
But then it hangs
[* ] A start job is running for dev-map...device (1h 26min 28s / no limit)
I've tried everything I know after googling and checking logs and such and at a point I have to kind of throw my hands in the air? I'm not incredibly knowledgeable at debugging the centos boot process. I suspect it has something to do with storage. Which is odd because ist incredibly simple. Its just a standard KVM VM with a standard virtio disk. Which is stored on the KVM server as a qcow file.
Curious if anybody has any ideas on where to begin?
