Bug Description
This report relates to
ami-bbf514d2 soren-us-
which is a temporary development/testing image, but Mark asked for issues with it to be reported here, so for the record...
Most instances I start with this image boot fine and I'm able to connect to them, but sometimes an instance started with this image fail to come up. The symptoms include:
1. Instance states it is in the "running" state
2. No network access.
3. No console output (which might indicate that the kernel did not get very far into the boot process).
Since it might be relatedto the problem, the image uses kernel+ramdisk:
aki-21f01148 canonical-
ari-3bf01152 canonical-
In one of my instances with the problem, the availability zone is my "us-east-1a" which I know is not the new fourth availability zone recently added by Amazon because I have been running instances continually in it for over a year. There is another availability zone (possibly Amazon's new one) which experiences the problem much more predictably.

This problems seems to be related to the kernel (since the instance hasn't even started writing to the console output). Also, other AMIs used with this kernel+ramdisk have similar issues: developer. amazonwebservic es.com/ connect/ thread. jspa?threadID= 34050
