I looked for kernels in /boot and modules in /lib/modules. If this is a Xen guest, and you only have Xen domU kernels installed, try installing a fullvirt kernel (only for supermin use, you shouldn't boot the Xen guest with it). libguestfs: error: /usr/bin/supermin exited with error status 1, see debug messages above libguestfs-test-tool: failed to launch appliance libguestfs: closing guestfs handle 0x10016848 (state 0) libguestfs: command: run: rm libguestfs: command: run: \ -rf /tmp/libguestfsfPWXx0 </div>I think i need to enable virtio-serial in my kernel. </div>I'll you let you know the result after enabling virtio-seriel in the kernel inn 5-10 min.

I'm surprised that an official Ubuntu ppc kernel would have such a non-standard name. Anyway, if homebrew you'll also need to ensure the kernel supports all the usual virtio devices (especially virtio-serial, which is required by libguestfs). <div class=""> Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat <a href="http://people.redhat.com/~rjones" target="_blank">http://people.redhat.com/~rjones</a> Read my programming and virtualization blog: <a href="http://rwmj.wordpress.com" target="_blank">http://rwmj.wordpress.com</a> </div>virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
