However, we are having terrible time re-bundling an existing image. <br>The re-bundled image is able to complete the boot process upto mountall: but the cloud-init never fires up.<br><br>Here is what we have done so far, please let us know what exactly is wrong on our side.<br><br>1- Downloaded the ubuntu1010 image from openstack site as follows: <pre style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;" class="literallayout"><a id="d1480e1528"> wget http://c0179148.cdn1.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/ubuntu1010-UEC-localuser-image.tar.gz<br>2- publish this image:<br></a><a id="d1480e1528">uec-publish-tarball ubuntu1010-UEC-localuser-image.tar.gz ubuntu
x86_64</a><br></pre>3- Now we run the image using euca-run-instance and it boots up fine, we are also able to login using the private key and able to install software.<br><br>4- When we want to save the instace into an image (rebundle), following sequence is performed<br><br> - rm -r /etc/udev/rules.d/70-*<br><br> - copy the nove certificates and source .novarc<br><br> - euca-bundle-vol -c ${EC2_CERT} -k ${EC2_PRIVATE_KEY} -u ${EC2_USER_ID} --ec2cert ${NOVA_CERT} --no-inherit --kernel aki-00000XXX -d /mnt -r x86_64 -p ubuntu-1010-rebundle -s 2048 -e /var/lib/dhcp3 <br><br> - euca-upload-bundle -b ubuntu -m /mnt/ubuntu-1010-rebundle.manifest.xml<br><br> - euca-register ubuntu/ubuntu-1010-rebundle.manifest.xml<br><br>5- Now we fire up this image once it has been successfully uploaded; we get stuck after plymouth-splash. Comapred to the
original image which started cloud-init after this point. The image is replying to pings but refusing ssh. It can be some odd ssh key issue?<br><br>[ 0.384064] md: autorun ...<br>[ 0.384435] md: ... autorun DONE.<br>[ 0.386063] EXT3-fs: barriers not enabled<br>[ 0.386946] kjournald starting.
