Did you run 'make' before 'make check'?  It seems to be building the
appliance here which wouldn't be expected if 'make' had finished
completely before 'make check' started.

This is failing on the very first test.  Look in the tmp/ subdirectory
for a file (or the latest file) called run-* and see what it contains.

You can also try running 'make quickcheck' which will test if things
are basically working or not.
