Bug Description
On a nova compute instance running in kvm the initial launch failed, with the last bit of the console like:
Begin: Running /scripts/
done.^M
/init: line 348: can't open /root/dev/console: no such file^M
[ 60.921374] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!^M
[ 60.922434] Pid: 1, comm: init Not tainted 3.0.0-9-virtual #14-Ubuntu^M
[ 60.923760] Call Trace:^M

It would seem that there is a race condition somewhere there, or for some reason /root/dev/console did not exist.

I'm attaching initial console log, and then rebooted console log (which succeeded).
