Buildbot Setup for Virtual Machines - Debian 5 amd64

Download netinst CD image debian-503-amd64-netinst.iso

cd /kvm/vms
qemu-img create -f qcow2 vm-debian5-amd64-serial.qcow2 8G
kvm -m 2047 -hda /kvm/vms/vm-debian5-amd64-serial.qcow2 -cdrom /kvm/debian-503-amd64-netinst.iso -redir 'tcp:2234::22' -boot d -smp 2 -cpu qemu64 -net nic,model=virtio -net user

Serial console and account setup

From base install, setup for serial port, and setup accounts for passwordless ssh login and sudo:

kvm -m 2047 -hda /kvm/vms/vm-debian5-amd64-serial.qcow2 -redir 'tcp:2234::22' -boot c -smp 2 -cpu qemu64 -net nic,model=virtio -net user

su
apt-get install sudo openssh-server
visudo
# uncomment %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
# add user account to group sudo `addgroup <USER> sudo`.
# Copy in public ssh key.

# Add in /etc/inittab:
S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 19200 vt100

Add to /boot/grub/menu.lst:

serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal --timeout=3 serial console

also add in menu.lst to kernel line (after removing `quiet splash'):

console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8

Add user buildbot, with disabled password. Add as sudo, and add ssh key.

sudo adduser --disabled-password buildbot
sudo adduser buildbot sudo
sudo su - buildbot
mkdir .ssh
# Add all necessary keys.
cat >.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod -R go-rwx .ssh
