Comment 1 for bug 607355

Just to clarify, those steps to get the machine to boot the original image are cumulative... so the final working command was this:

LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc-0.12 -m 1024 -smp 1 -name i-lrpnh3ta -uuid b43ba850-2170-6a96-18ec-0f4f67a472dc -boot c -drive file=/home/justinsb/openstack/images/kvm/ubuntu-kvm/tmpK440Qi.qcow2,if=virtio,index=0,boot=on -net nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:76:88:f5,vlan=0,name=nic.0 -chardev file,id=serial0,path=/home/justinsb/openstack/iscsi-volumes/data/instances/i-lrpnh3ta/console.log -serial chardev:serial0 -parallel none -usb

And then if I swap that image back to the nova one it still fails to boot as it did before the other modifications.
