Hello Folks!
Minimal install of latest version CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) followed by a Cloudmin KVM script installation on a HP DL380 G7 with 2 * X5650 and 36GB RAM. There were a few problems with firewall who prevented VNC from working, but where is the virtual text bases serial console, I really miss that...
After configuring Cloudmin accordingly to the book, installing a couple of guests, here 6, a few 64 bit Centos7, Debian8 and some old 32 bit Centos5.11 we restarted the whole server.
After the server was up again, neither webmin nor Cloudmin had started automatically, so I did:
[root@redstar ~]# systemctl enable webmin webmin.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig. Executing /sbin/chkconfig webmin on
[root@redstar ~]# systemctl enable cloudmin-kvm cloudmin-kvm.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig. Executing /sbin/chkconfig cloudmin-kvm on
Then I did a reboot, the server comes up again, but no webmin and no cloudmin has started....
Followed by a manual: systemctl start webmin
A check: systemctl start cloudmin-kvm # this one took very long time

What is this for a problem, anyone who have seen this before ?

If you login to Cloudmin, and then go to Webmin -> System -> Bootup and Shutdown, are the
webminandcloudmin-kvmactions enabled at boot?Submitted by steen on Sat, 01/23/2016 - 03:10 Comment #2
Hello Jamie!
Yes they are set to start at boot.
Webmin -> System -> Bootup and Shutdown: Service name Service description Start at boot? Running now?
cloudmin-kvm Start KVM instances created by Cloudmin Yes No webmin Start or stop the Webmin server Yes Yes
I did start both manually. Yet cloudmin-kvm is not registered by system as running, so we check with ps below:
[root@redstar ~]# ps -ef | grep -i cloudmin-kvm root 2725 11212 0 10:01 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i cloudmin-kvm root 3754 1 0 Jan22 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/cloudmin-kvm start root 4909 1 0 Jan22 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/cloudmin-kvm start root 5358 1 0 Jan22 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/cloudmin-kvm start root 5463 1 0 Jan22 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/cloudmin-kvm start root 5690 1 0 Jan22 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/cloudmin-kvm start

Hello !
I did notice that guest was missing in systemctl status cloudmin-kvm, so I did some more checks to se status of webmin. That service is "green", but what does guest6 do here, and two times like two instances ?

Those subprocesses are there because the KVM instances were started from Webmin.
One thing you should check is if anything got logged to
/var/webmin/miniserv.errorat boot time, such as messages from Webmin indicating why it failed to start.
