Comment 15 for bug 431103

I just uploaded to canonical-testing-us:
  aki-80a84be9 ubuntu-kernel-2.6.31-300.3-ec2-i386.manifest.xml
  aki-8aa84be3 ubuntu-kernel-2.6.31-300.3-ec2-x86_64.manifest.xml
  ari-90a84bf9 ubuntu-ramdisk-2.6.31-300.3-ec2-i386.manifest.xml
  ari-8ea84be7 ubuntu-ramdisk-2.6.31-300.3-ec2-x86_64.manifest.xml

I then booted the i386 build karmic-i386-20090926.1 (ami-28a34041) with:
  run-instances ami-28a34041 --kernel aki-80a84be9 --ramdisk ari-90a84bf9

The happy result is we have console output again, including the ssh keys.

So, with linux-image-2.6.31-300-ec2 at version 2.6.31-300.3,
a.) this should be fixed in beta
b.) There is no ec2-init task required
