Bug Description

Using the Cloud Installer option on the server CD, cluster mode, after reboot the system hangs at:
Enabling IP forwarding * Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd

Logging in via ssh, it appears /etc/init.d/eucalyptus-cc is stuck in a loop.
Which is not that surprising, considering this code snippet:

i=10
while ! netstat -ln -A inet,inet6 2>/dev/null | egrep -q "^tcp6?[[:space:]]+[[:digit:]]+[[:space:]]+[[:digit:]]+[[:space:]]+[^[:space:]]+:${CLOUD_PORT:-8773}[[:space:]]"; do
    i=$(($i - 1))
    sleep 1
done

CLOUD_PORT is apparently empty, and the real port used is 8774, so this loops forever.

I'm trying to understand the maze of the initscripts since simply fixing that one doesn't appear to be sufficient to ensure seamless boot messages.

Confirming, I'm seeing the same thing from a fresh install on real hardware.

Changing 8773 to 8774 in all initscripts fixes this.
This is only a first-boot issue, since CLOUD_PORT gets defined afterwards.

Adding VERBOSE=yes at the top of the initscripts restores the missing start/stop messages at boot.

Maybe doing ${CC_PORT:-8773} instead of ${CLOUD_PORT:-8774} is a better fix. I have a hard time figuring out what CLOUD_PORT does here.

It should match euca_conf. For cluster registration that's CC_PORT; for walrus/sc registration it's apparently hardcoded to 8773.

It no longer went into the infinite loop, thanks to your change at rev554... now it should be even faster.

  [ Dustin Kirkland ]
  * debian/eucalyptus-udeb.finish-install: eth0 should be set to
    'manual', when configured with br0 on dhcp, LP: #430820
  * tools/euca_conf.in: ensure that /var/run/eucalyptus and
    /var/run/eucalyptus/net are created at boot and have correct
    ownerships, LP: #431114, #365349

  [ Thierry Carrez ]
  * cluster/Makefile, node/Makefile: Do not patch generated stubs if you
    didn't regenerate them, to avoid spurious build interruptions.
  * tools/eucalyptus-*.in: Do not guard initscripts basic output
    messages with VERBOSE != no (LP: #431274)
  * debian/control: Have eucalyptus-cc suggest vtun for full multi-cluster
    networking capabilities (LP: #425928)

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Align ports used for cloud startup detection in init scripts with the
    corresponding code in euca_conf (LP: #430758).

  [ Soren Hansen ]
  * New snapshot.
  * Add a build-dependency on libc3p0-java.
