2015-04-07 12:42:04 Andrey Pavlov description Can't run instance through EC2 API passing independent image/kernel/ramdisk. I have three independent images - it means that base image doesn't have links to kernel/ramdisk and doesn't have them inside. If I try to run instance passing these three images then VM starts but hangs with message 'There is no bootable device'. It happens because nova doesn't support booting instance with independent images. python-novaclient doesn't provide kernel/ramdisk to REST API request. nova server API doesn't take kernel/ramdisk parameters. I suggest that to fix this bug nova should be changed. Can't run instance through EC2 API passing independent image/kernel/ramdisk.
