Getting started with Openstack here. I've successfully imported and launched instances with a cirros image per the Openstack Installation Guide, but when I import UEC images, like this one here and then attempt to launch instances from it, the instance console reports:

Booting from Hard Disk... Boot failed: not a bootable disk

No bootable device.

When importing the UEC image, I've tried specifying both RAW and QCOW2 formats to Openstack, but get the same error.

What am I missing here?

Did you untar the file first? I have used the following UEC image many times:

http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/precise/current/precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img

Set the image format to QCOW2.

  • thanks, I will try using the .img file directly to try to narrow down the problem, but based on the documentation here: http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_introduction.html it seems like a UEC tarball should be directly supported. – spiffly May 25 '14 at 16:03
  • Thanks, using the *-disk1.img works (I wonder what the .img file in the tarball is for?), but now I seem unable to login to the instance with the SSH key pair I told openstack to associate with the instance. Where is the documentation for these images? – spiffly Jun 02 '14 at 12:48
  • Start looking from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/cloud Make sure you log in as the 'ubuntu' user - should work fine with your openstack keypair. – Barak Jun 03 '14 at 06:13
