I tried this and snapcraft is still timing out on the guest:

diego@diego-Standard-PC-i440FX-PIIX-1996:~/mysnaps/hello$ snapcraft
Launching a VM.
start failed: timed out waiting for instance to respond
Stopping snapcraft-my-snap-name /^C
Aborted!
diego@diego-Standard-PC-i440FX-PIIX-1996:~/mysnaps/hello$

That said, I no longer see the dmesg stack trace on the host. Should I
try a more recent kernel on the guest?
