I agree we should probably upgrade (

    This is quite an old version of libguestfs/supermin, and we've fixed a
    lot of bugs in this area since then.
    
    If you cannot upgrade to a recent version then I suggest running
    supermin-helper with lots more verbosity to see exactly what file it's
    failing on:

    > libguestfs: command: run: \ --output-kernel /var/tmp/guestfs.jgjlPT/kernel
    > libguestfs: command: run: \ --output-initrd /var/tmp/guestfs.jgjlPT/initrd
    > libguestfs: command: run: \ --output-appliance /var/tmp/guestfs.jgjlPT/root
    
    /usr/bin/supermin-helper -v -v -v --copy-kernel -f ext2 --host-cpu x86_64 /usr/lib/guestfs/supermin.d --output-kernel /var/tmp/kernel --output-initrd /var/tmp/initrd --output-appliance /var/tmp/root
    
    Hopefully it should give a bit more information.
    
    Rich.
