[Bug 1377308] Re: booting cloud image without initramfs broken

[Scott Moser]

** Description changed:

  Booting without a initramfs was broken by the cloud-init change for
- bug 1377005 (http://pad.lv/1377005).
+ bug 1353008 (http://pad.lv/1353008).
  
  This affects arm guests where a bootloader is not used that would load
  kernel and initramfs.
  
  There are 2 workarounds:
  a.) remove the offensive code
-   sudo mount-image-callback ubuntu.img -- \
-      sh -c 'f="$MOUNTPOINT/etc/init/cloud-init-local.conf";
-             sed -e "/^start on/s/ and mounted .*//" -i.dist $f &&
-             diff -u $f.dist $f'
+   sudo mount-image-callback ubuntu.img -- \
+      sh -c 'f="$MOUNTPOINT/etc/init/cloud-init-local.conf";
+             sed -e "/^start on/s/ and mounted .*//" -i.dist $f &&
+             diff -u $f.dist $f'
  
  b.) register and boot with an initramfs
-   This is done by
-    i.) getting the initramfs out of the image:
-      sudo mount-image-callback ubuntu.img -- \
-        sh -c 'cp $MOUNTPOINT/boot/initrd* . && chmod ugo+r initrd*'
-    ii.) upload the initramfs to glance
-      glance image-create --name=ubuntu-ramdisk --public \
-         --container-format ari --disk-format ari < initrd*
-      record the ramdisk id
-    iii.) register with --property ramdisk_id=$RAMDISK_ID
-      normally for "ami" style images on arm, the user had been
-      uploading with --property kernel_id=<kernel_id>.
-      now, you need to upload with:
-        glance image-create --name="$NAME" \
-           --public --container-format ami --disk-format ami \
-           --property "kernel_id=$KERNEL_ID" \
-           --property "ramdisk_id=$RAMDISK_ID" \ < ubuntu.img

+      sudo mount-image-callback ubuntu.img -- \
+        sh -c 'cp $MOUNTPOINT/boot/initrd* . && chmod ugo+r initrd*'

+           --public --container-format ami --disk-format ami \
+           --property "kernel_id=$KERNEL_ID" \
+           --property "ramdisk_id=$RAMDISK_ID" \ < ubuntu.img
