Jeremiah, thanks for the bug report. It would be pretty awful to lose the upstart messages going to the serial console on EC2, so I don't think this is a valid solution.
Perhaps we could add a vsphere-guest package which adds this to the kernel parameters in grub somehow. That would mean you still wouldn't see messages on the first boot, but debugging at that point can be handled by manually adding the option. ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1016695 Title: add console=tty0 to cloud-image kernel boot parameters To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1016695/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
