Comment 7 for bug 1271285

Actually, after a serious debugging session, we now think the problem has nothing to do with MAAS or the installer. What we think happens is that juju is giving up after 10 minutes (that's something new in version 1.17, recently released to Trusty) and orders MAAS to shutdown the node. The fact that it happened right when the node was rebooting after install lead to an amusing confusion.

See bug 1257649.

We're still in the process of confirming this theory by building a custom version of juju with a bigger timeout and testing with that.
