[v4] tests/vm: serial console autoinstall, misc fixes.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 03/11] tests/vm: run test builds on snapshot

Posted by Gerd Hoffmann 6 years, 7 months ago

The build script doesn't shutdown the guest VMs properly,
which results in filesystem corruption and guest boot
failures sooner or later.

Use the --snapshot to run builds on a snapshot,
That way killing the VM doesn't corrupt the base image.
