[Bug 615529] Re: eucalyptus instance reboot fails: Guest moved used index from 0 to 2639

[Scott Moser]

Heres some more information, this is a result of work done under the
kernel-upgrades spec [1].  I had originally only used the floppy disk
boot mechanism for scsi root disk, as initial boot works fine with
'-kernel <grub_loader>' and virtio.  If I take change the eucalyptus
code to use a boot floppy for virtio root also, the result is working
'reboot'.

Heres a summary of what works, what doesn't:
- WORKS: -kernel with linux kernel, scsi   disk, reboot works
- WORKS: -fda floppy, grub loader,  scsi   disk, reboot works
- WORKS: -kernel with linux kernel, virtio disk, reboot works
- WORKS: -fda floppy, grub loader,  virtio disk, reboot works
- FAILS: -kernel with grub loader,  virtio disk, reboot fails
- FAILS: -kernel with grub loader,  scsi   disk, wont boot (bug 611142)

notes:
 -fda floppy means grub boot floppy that loads the same grub multiboot
  image as is booted with -kernel)
