After completing the Openstack setup and launching an instance, I've
used Cirros as test image, when I go to Instances-->Console, I see a
blank screen. Sometimes , I saw it was stopping at "GRUB Loading
1.5.".

nova-compute.log is below: I seems it does not have a error.

When I look at a  nova console , it was output "VFS: Can't find ext4
filesystem".I could not understand means of this messages.

Also , I tried other images ( ubuntu or CentOS 6.5 ) , but it was not
able to bring up.
After a little the instance status changed to "Paused from "Running".

I built in 3 nodes (compute , controller , network).
All ubuntu server 14.04.
These environment is nested KVM on ESXi , I guessit works fine.

    root at compute:~# lsmod |grep kvm
    kvm_intel             143060  0
    kvm                   451511  1 kvm_intel

    root at compute:~# cat /etc/nova/nova-compute.conf

I am refferring to blow:
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/install-guide/install/apt/content/launch-instance-neutron.html

Do you know what causes this?
Could you please advise to me?

Thank you.

Takeshi
