Timing issues #27

Closed nixy closed 6 years ago

nixy commented 6 years ago

If I start packer and don't touch the VirtualBox window that opens (let GRUB timeout), then the timing ends up being off for the boot commands.

The first boot command (shown below), ends up not being run and only the .packer_http bit is executed, which then causes the third boot command to fail and SSH bombs out:

echo http://{{ .HTTPIP }}:{{ .HTTPPort}} > .packer_http

If i intervene during boot and hit enter at the GRUB screen (before 10 second timeout) the build goes perfectly. This seems less than ideal if the goal is to automate this, but then again this could just be my machine being slow.

Could you bump the boot_wait attribute up by an extra 10 seconds?
