[ec2] Hardy 8.04 instance stopped responding!!

[Ajay A]

Hello

I got a instance running that is based i386 release  8.04 (Hardy)
ami-30c0e844 and I can't ping to it or do anything with it. can't even
SSH.  it has just stopped responding. This happened once when I was
initializing a EBS drive also.

any idea?  I would love to stick with ubuntu releases but this kind of
thing scares the hell out of me.  I wonder I need to stick to office
amazon releases.

help please.
