Bit more ligs are needed. ssh debug logs from your client. system logs from the guest containing the start when headless

Comment 3 Michal Skrivanek 2017-02-21 10:45:18 UTC
as I saw in email conversation it was eventually working, you just need to correctly configure and use the serial console

Comment 4 Shira Maximov 2017-02-21 19:41:17 UTC
which mail conversions? this is a different issue, 
the problem in serial console is not connected to this bug

Comment 5 Tomas Jelinek 2017-03-01 12:03:23 UTC
After some digging into this issue in the Shira's environment I found that the problem was in a grub configuration which needs to be set to console mode.

This deserves some documentation - turning into documentation bug.
