I am currently working on trying to make a TemplateVM out of a Linux from Scratch \
installation (or more accurately, BLFS).

Progress has been immense, but I've run into a roadblock I'm not sure how to \
diagnose.

For starters, I've gone through and successfully compiled: 

vmm-xen
core-vchan-xen
linux-utils
core-agent-linux
gui-common
gui-agent-linux

I've done the best I can to adapt Archlinux instructions, taking note of path \
modifications and installing everything, gruelingly by hand.  Everything built as \
best as I can tell, but I cannot get `qvm-run` to execute a command.  I'll try to \
give as much information as I can about the state of this systemd-based BLFS run.

1) lsmod shows xen_netfront, xen_netback, u2mfn loaded successfully on boot
2) The following systemd scripts are enabled (at boot) and run and exit cleanly:
  qubes-early-vm-config
  qubes-iptables
  qubes-misc-post
  qubes-mount-dirs
  qubes-sysinit
3) The following systemd scripts are enable and run in the background:
  qubes-qrexec-agent
  qubes-db

Any other services have been either a) mistakenly missed and not installed OR b) \
ignored as they implement a functionality I believe is non critical at the time, \
e.g., qubes-sync-time

If there are any other processes I've missed, please let me know, because it's \
probably just one of the make targets I've somehow overlooked.

4) /dev/xvdb mounted as /rw.  /rw/home and /rw/usrlocal all work as expected.  xen \
mounted at /proc/xen also listed in fstab and seemingly working (based on \
xenstore-read name returning system name).

5) Lastly, theres qubes-gui-agent, which when run automatically hides the HVM window \
and makes it non-interact-able.  This is currently disabled in systemd, but is \
installed.

And this is where I'm stuck.

I'm trying on dom0: qvm-run lfs "shutdown now -h" and it returns "Running 'shutdown \
now -h' on lfs" but the VM never responds.

What else might I provide to help troubleshoot this and to detect what seems like the \
last-mile in getting this working as a template?

Thanks in advance!
