I don't really have any idea about that. Is it caused by intermittent
network failure?

Another thing to check is the delta between your two commands.

Wei.

No, it is not an intermitten failure, because I have another guest image that I am able to boot fine.

I also tried to replace the kernel in the image that I created from the mirror. But I am seeing the networking error about the vif being not set up correctly. Any idea, why that might be happening and how to fix it?

Thanks
