Comment 1 for bug 961451

Not sure if need to be fixed. How do you know the id of the kernel that you wish to launch until you have described instances?

image ec2 ids are assigned on demand. You are cheating and assuming that the kernel will be called aki-00000001 because it was the first image you uploaded, but IMO this is an invalide assumption. We could work around this by forcing a list and retry on not-found, but IMO this case will never exist in a real deploy, it is only a concern in toy-cloud implementations where you happen to know the order that you ordered images.

I'm marking this won't fix for now. Feel free to reopen if you disagree.
