Public bug reported: I am testing the vmware native driver of nova compute component.
My environment should be workable before I upgrade my vCenter and EXSi from 5.0 to 5.5. After the upgrade, I found all the existing VMs boot from nova can not be started in my vCenter with 'Operating system not found' error. I tried to delete the image cache in my datastore under the _base directory and try to boot a new one, it doesn't help, the problem is still. I get a new image from here: http://partnerweb.vmware.com/programs/vmdkimage/debian-2.6.32-i686.vmdk , this one is workable in my env. So, I am confusing what's wrong with my existing image which should be workable fine before my upgrade.
