Can't build ubuntu image. qemu: Error launching VM: Qemu failed to start.
What happened:
I can't build ubuntu image for baremetal following instructions
What you expected to happen:
To get ubuntu images I can then use on Intel NUCs, (bottlerocket didn't work)
How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Follow instructions from
You will hit some issues
- with ansible checks use workaround https://github.com/aws/eks-anywhere/issues/5937
- with qemu missing use workaround https://github.com/aws/eks-anywhere/issues/5938
Run
image-builder build --os ubuntu --hypervisor baremetal --release-channel 1-26

Hey @csantanapr, could you share the full logs from running this command?
I also have similar issues. Building on Rocky 9.4.
Also due to the fact that bottlerocket has been removed from baremetal leaves me with no more options to test eks-anywhere.
Changing release-channels didn't help. Nor did changing ubuntu versions.
I originally suspected that maybe it's due to how RHEL obscures away qemu-kvm, and I was forced to link it as
qemu-system-x86_64 for the builder to work might have been the issue.
But csantanapr seems to have the same issue on ubuntu, so I'm more skeptical on that front.
Next week I will try on another distro.
