Hi,
This bug has gotten me enough times with my Amazon EC2 servers. Only now do I 
realise that it is after the kernel update. When updating using apt-get 
upgrade, UFW, keeps working as expected even if I reboot.

This morning I followed up with apt-get dist-upgrade specifically
because I wanted to update the kernel. After the reboot, I cannot SSH
into the server.

This is a critical bug because I cannot access my EC2 server! What
options do I have other than to loose the entire server, and beg
software vendors to issue me another license because the server is still
running, I simply cannot access it at all via ANY ports! Not even the
web services via HTTPS are available! This also means that I loose all
contents of the server not on a separate, attached storage!

This has happened numerous times but only now have I been able to
conclusively pin it down to UFW failing after kernel upgrade.

Until this bug is fixed, I suggest anybody should not use UFW on EC2
servers. Or if you must, disable and remove it altogether before
upgrading the kernel/image.

My server is running the x86 version of 10.04 LTS on Amazon's EC2.
