I can add "ami" style images to diablo nova/glance via:

    wget http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/natty/current/natty-server-cloudimg-amd64.tar.gz
    
    tar -zxvf natty-server-cloudimg-amd64.tar.gz

    glance add  -A KEYSTONE_TOKEN name="uec-natty-kernel" is_public=true container_format=aki \
        disk_format=aki < natty-server-cloudimg-amd64-vmlinuz-virtual
    
    # use the returned id as the kernel for the image

    glance add -A KEYSTONE_TOKEN name="uec-natty" is_public=true container_format=ami kernel_id=4 \
        disk_format=ami < natty-server-cloudimg-amd64.img


BUT I don't know how to use the newer oneiric qcow2 image:

    wget http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/oneiric/current/oneiric-server-cloudimg-armel-disk1.img

    glance add  -A KEYSTONE_TOKEN name="uec-oneiric-qcow2"  is_public=true container_format=ovf \
        disk_format=qcow2 --host=dev2.rcb.me < oneiric-server-cloudimg-armel-disk1.img

It doesn't appear to launch (no console output) and vnc shows "Booting from Hard Diskā€¦" and never moves forward.

Anyone used the oneiric qcow2 image with nova?
