[elbe-devel] 'elbe initvm create' hangs after "Loading additional components"

[Norbert Nemec | BLOKS.]

Still struggling:

The hanging is indeed somehow connected with network-traffic. After many 
tries and some debugging into the qemu session, I managed to trace it 
down to the 'wget' command sometimes hanging on one of the downloads. 
Sometimes this happens during "Loading additional components" sometimes 
this steps succeeds but then "Installing the base system" hangs. Also 
there, I find that it is one of the wget calls that hangs in the middle 
of a download.

I don't see how my own network connection would cause this kind of 
problems. Unfortunately, I have no previous experience with qemu, so I 
don't really know how to continue investigating.

Any ideas?

Greetings,
Norbert
