Open Stack

Thanks Aaron, i have only qemu-kvm not kvm. The issue was the image type is qcow2. When I changed it to the following I got pass that issue.
 
qemu-image create -f qcow2 $IMAGE 5 G
 
Howerve, I am not getting ISOLINUX 4.02 2010-07-21 ETCD Copyright (C) 1994-2010 H. Peter Anvin et alÿ. 
 
I have tried to boot with the same ISO on a different VM and it worked fined.
 
Not sure why. any ideas.
