Open Stack

We are seeing the same issue here in Reddwarf with precise (using elements
vm and ubuntu) with the latest trunk of disk image-builder.


Boot using qemu-system-x86_64.  This used to work as of a few days ago and
we rolled back disk image-builder to a prior patch and it works again.


Followed by 

Error: no such device: cloudimg-rootfs.
Error: no such disk.
Error: you need to load the kernel first.

Press any key to continueŠ
Failed to boot both default and fallback entries

Subject:  Re: [openstack-dev] [diskimage-builder] can't boot ubuntu image

Robert, 

Both systems are x86_64.
No, grub menu does not show up. In fact there are just a couple more text
lines before "Booting from Hard Disk..." and the whole process hangs after
that.
I've run build again with ' 2>&1 | tee disk-image-create.output' and
attached the output file.

Thanks,

Dmitry
