Title:
  raring instance failed to find EC2 datasource

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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
  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.

   * plymouth: bug 1086072  some output to /dev/console does not reach /dev/console
