Open Stack

Hi!

I've followed the debian+puppet installation guide [1], and have
gotten quite far. With some tweaks I seem to have a more or less
working setup, but when I'm trying to do the "nova boot" command, it
just hangs (even without the --poll option).

I've tried to look everywhere I could in logs and database locks, but
can't figure it out. I'm new to Openstack so I've probably done
something wrong and/or I'm not looking in the right place.

>From [2], and the output below it seems that it's stuck in the very
first step/stage "Compute.api.create_db_entry_for_new_instance".

I'm on #openstack on IRC if discussing online is easier.

Some output:
