Hi,

I am running into an issue when I try to run an instance of the cirros image as specified here:

http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/install/yum/content/running-an-instance.html

I am unable to ping it, and when I connect VNC to the running instance, it shows the following:

Starting SeaBIOS (version 0.6.0)

Booting from Hard Disk....
Boot Failed: could not read the boot disk.

Booting from Floppy....
Boot failed: could not read the boot disk.

Booting from CD-Rom...
Boot failed: Could not read from CDROM (code 0001)
No bootable device.

This explains why the instance is not pingable, but I am not sure why booting the HD fails.
I am not sure what the issue can be as I can access glance/keystone/nova, and nova list shows that the instance is running, so its not an issue of permissions I believe.

Any thoughts?

Malek
