I've not seen this myself. could you provide a console log (euca-get-console-output) of the image that is broken? And exactly what cirros image you're using? (ie, the disk.img or the uec tarbal...)

It is only enabled in the cirros image as its intent is test. please do not run cirros images with default password for anything important. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
