[Openstack] OpenStack Installation Woes - Need re-assurance and help.

Thanks a lot for the points Andi (and the links), but not to stray away
from my original post: I don't want complexity at this stage - I want a
single server that works.  I haven't even got that.
I had a multi node set up working (to some degree of butchery) of an early
Essex-1 release using Orchestra, PXE booting and doing appropriate
post-configuration, if a little bit of a hack.  We're a modest size digital
hosting environment - introducing alternative PXE booting and config
management systems ontop of something that is already causing us pain isn't
something we're looking at right now.  Given a fairly slick PXE boot
environment already across multiple datacentres of the rest of our kit
means we can move to using this for OpenStack.  That's an aside - I
mentioned prod, but not confuse a way of rolling this out in our
datacentres.

The issues stem from a basic install.  I'd love to chat about bare-metal
provisioning issues as it means I've got OpenStack running.  I haven't.
 Yet.
I've raised a bug just now (https://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/953989)
which might shed light on my issues as it's possible its not a bug, but
process/config issue.  This would be great to hear as it means there's an
easy fix.
Given that keystone underpins the rest of the environment means that my
frustrations could be solved.

Cheers,

Kev
