Open Stack

 I 've followed the changes in the aforementioned bug report a few days 
 ago (meaning that I 've created the DB and changed the CONF files) and I 
 was able to launch Cirros instances.
 I will be more than happy to provide the steps to someone to look at 
 them if requested.

 Unfortunately I am not able to launch neither Debian nor CentOS 
 instances and I am getting a "No valid host was found".

 Not sure if this is really the same bug but how can I eliminate the 
 option?

 Regards,

 G.
