It appears to be failing to attach and IDE or hard disk.

Hi @gregelin , I believe that problem was solved in #32 Could you please try a master branch ? I'm going to do release v0.7 with some changes for templates this weekend :)

@wilas Also uploaded screencast. There's a slow section in the middle where I was figuring out the submodule include commands.

wilas commented 10 years ago

Fist of all thanks for a testing vbkick on Mac. You are a person which I'm looking for ;-) Special before v0.7 release.

Could you please run these commands and paste output:

command -v VBoxManage
VBoxManage --version
__version="4.2.12r84980"
__pos=$(expr "${__version}" : '[0-9.]\+')
printf "${__pos}\n"
__version=${__version:0:${__pos}}
printf "${__version}\n"

BTW. Nice video. Are you happy to prepare more for me after templates reorganization ?

NB. There is/will be quite a lot work with the documentation of this project. If your are fancy to help feel free to ping me. Any hands count :-)

gregelin commented 10 years ago

Kamil,

Vbkick could solve a big problem for us. Do you have some time work interactively/remotely with is today?

Happy to help with testing, docs, and videos.

Looks like broken centos ISO file. Are you sure that ISO was downloaded correctly ? You may want remove existing iso file and allow vbkick to download it once again for you.

You may want as well try with this template: https://github.com/wilas/vbkick-template-centos6 from scratch :)

gregelin commented 10 years ago

I thought same thing. Have removed ISO and starting from scratch.

Yes, it was a bad iso. Thanks.

bush commented 9 years ago

I'm seeing the exact same issue with the 1.4.1 iso. I'm running OS X 10.5.8.

bush commented 9 years ago

Ok I updated Virtual Box and ran boot2docker delete then boot2docker init. That fixed my issue.
