It's because the timeout value of each case is 360 seconds but now some qemu targets(qemuarm and qemupp) took more than 360s for first time booting. We have a bug to track the booting slowness issue, http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646. When a previous sanity test is still running, a next build is started. That caused the series failure you saw.
Since only the first time booting takes much time, I wrote a patch to fix the timeout issue on autobuilder. I move test case dmesg to the first one and save the image used for dmesg test. The image then will be used in following test cases, which can save a lot of time. And I also set timeout value to 200s, which means 10 cases will cost 200*10=2000s at maximum, while the timeout value of each sanity test task for each target is 2400s. It can ensure above failure not happen again I think.
Could you help to review following patch to check if it solves the issue correctly?
