Getting SSH Handshake Failed on Alma 9

AkashRajvanshi commented 7 months ago

Hi, I'm trying to build Alma 9 images, but I'm encountering an SSH handshake error: 'ssh: handshake failed: read tcp 127.0.0.1:59326->127.0.0.1:3346: read: connection reset by peer'. Can you please help?"

Hi Akash, Could you please share more information from you setup?

Which image are trying to build?
Host OS
Packer version

AkashRajvanshi commented 7 months ago

Hi @LKHN , below are the required details of my environment:

Which image are you trying to build? qemu.almalinux-9-gencloud-x86_64
Host OS: Kubuntu 22.04.4 LTS x86_64
Packer version: Packer v1.10.3

Building BIOS images is working, but when I try for UEFI, it gets stuck on the SSH connection part.

Hi @LKHN , I tried building UEFI images and also opened a local VNC viewer. It shows on screen "guest has not initialized the display (yet)", while the console is attempting to SSH into it.

Debian 11
Fedora 40
Fedora 39
Fedora 38

Hi @LKHN , I did the test with : Packer 1.11.2 Host: Ubuntu 22.04 Image: qemu.almalinux-9-gencloud-x86_64

The only think that I changed is that it create LVM, but should not be an issue. As a result has the same SSH issue. Any suggestions?

@VladyslavTkachenkoDesy

Can you disable the headless mode to able to see whether the VM is booted after the installation or not?

export PKR_VAR_headless='false'
