Unable to create a mysql guest image using redstack kickstart on a 32-bit OS

Tried to create a mysql guest image on a 32-bit OS using the following command: ./redstack kick-start mysql.

It failed with the following error message: chroot: failed to run command `sh': Exec format error

I managed to get this to work by changing amd64 architecture to i386 where the disk-image-create script gets called.

I'm assigning it to myself per IRC chat with johnma.

We talked about this briefly at summit and the thought was that this not be fixed in juno-3. No decision was made about it though. I'll propose deferring at the Wednesday meeting.

The fix for this isn't hard (pick a different base cloud image). The bigger problem is whether we want to actually bother. At this point, I'm not sure it is worth it any longer. I'm marking this as such.
