That should be rather straight forward.

There is a big libguestfs version change between SLES 12 SP1 and SLES 12 SP2, which one are you using?

on SLES 12 SP1 or earlier you should get a fixed appliance, while on SLES 12 SP2 you should get
a supermin based appliance.

I see that you have the libguestfs from SLES 12 SP2, and supermin is also installed, weird.

It smells like libaugeas was not packaged in your appliance, though augeas-lenses
requires libaugeas0 and augeas-lenses is included in the packages list.

The user shouldn't be a problem: libguestfs will create an appliance for each user. You will
find the appliance for the root user in /var/tmp/.guestfs-0/. You can try to remove it
and try running the libguestfs-test-tool again to see if the appliance is now properly booting.

If you are running a registered SLES 12 SP2, then I think you should bring this problem
to support people for it to be properly tracked and handled.

我希望这个帮助你。
