[erlang-questions] Trouble with ct_slave node initialization

[Christopher Meiklejohn]

I'm seeing the following behavior where ct_slave fails to initialize
the node within the boot_timeout, however, the node is being
registered via epmd and is pingable after initialization.

(chris2@REDACTED)9> ct_slave:start('chris3@REDACTED').
{error,boot_timeout,chris3@REDACTED@box545}
(chris2@REDACTED)10> net_adm:ping('chris3@REDACTED').
pong

(chris2@REDACTED)11> net_adm:ping('chris4').
pang
(chris2@REDACTED)12> ct_slave:start('chris4').
{error,boot_timeout,chris4@REDACTED}
(chris2@REDACTED)13> net_adm:ping('chris4').
pang
(chris2@REDACTED)14>

(chris2@REDACTED)16> net_adm:ping('chris4@REDACTED').
pong

The boxes hostname is box545, however Erlang is running with
distribution on, but with only shortnames enabled.

Thanks,
Christopher
