** Description changed: This seems sporadic failure at best. I had seen it on openstack fail similarly. Today I launched 7 instances of us-east-1 t1.micro from each of : - ami-be70f5d7 ebs/ubuntu-raring-daily-amd64-server-20121109 - ami-de27a2b7 ebs/ubuntu-raring-daily-amd64-server-20121110 - ami-f6c94d9f ebs/ubuntu-raring-daily-amd64-server-20121111 - ami-cc8307a5 ebs/ubuntu-raring-daily-amd64-server-20121112 - ami-5c43c735 ebs/ubuntu-raring-daily-amd64-server-20121113 + ami-be70f5d7 ebs/ubuntu-raring-daily-amd64-server-20121109 + ami-de27a2b7 ebs/ubuntu-raring-daily-amd64-server-20121110 + ami-f6c94d9f ebs/ubuntu-raring-daily-amd64-server-20121111 + ami-cc8307a5 ebs/ubuntu-raring-daily-amd64-server-20121112 + ami-5c43c735 ebs/ubuntu-raring-daily-amd64-server-20121113 and then another one of 20121109 and 20121113. One of the 2 20121109 failed to boot, and I will attach its console log and cloud-init.log. The log was obtained from stopping the instance, attaching to another system, and getting it. Then I restarted the instance, and it booted fine. Things that were of interest: - * from cloud-init's perspective, the thing that failed was finding the ec2 metadata service. - * In the failure case, there were no messages to the console log after initramfs, while cloud-init's log shows it WARNing, which should go to console. + * from cloud-init's perspective, the thing that failed was finding the ec2 metadata service. + * In the failure case, there were no messages to the console log after initramfs, while + cloud-init's log shows it WARNing, which should go to console. + + Related bugs: + * mountall: bug 1059471 2.41 fails to mount root partition ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: cloud-init 0.7.0-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: User Name 3.5.0-17.28-generic 3.5.5 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-17-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.6.2-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Nov 14 21:30:05 2012 Ec2AMI: ami-be70f5d7 Ec2AMIManifest: (unknown) Ec2AvailabilityZone: us-east-1b Ec2InstanceType: t1.micro Ec2Kernel: aki-825ea7eb Ec2Ramdisk: unavailable MarkForUpload: True PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: - TERM=xterm - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + TERM=xterm + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: cloud-init UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1078926 Title: raring instance failed to find EC2 datasource To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1078926/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
