Comment 5 for bug 1357677

sdague: The query contains a NOT message: "initramfs loading root from" , which means something is not dumped from serial console to the jenkins console log what should be there if the volume properly attached.

Basically it means the instance is booted, but did not find the block device. There are other sings in the console log about the block device was not detected.

jgriffith: The issue is NOT an ssh issue, the vda is not visible on the guest. the instance even did not reached the state when it tries to set up addresses for the interfaces.

Please be aware we are directly injecting the kernel and the initramfs to the vm memory, so those part can work with a working block device. We see the issue when the system really tries to touch the block device.
