Comment 2 for bug 308530

I have experienced this again with the latest official Ubuntu Hardy image (ami-5d59be34) and we now have reports from at least one other user who is experiencing problems that could be caused by this timing issue:

  http://groups.google.com/group/ec2ubuntu/browse_thread/thread/996d2911c2926ccf

This will become even more of an issue as the startup processes are moved earlier in the boot process (e.g,. for #370628)

I have attached my console output. In particular, note:

   * Setting EC2 defaults [80G ^M[74G[[31mfail[39;49m]
   * Fetching EC2 login credentials [80G ^M[74G[[31mfail[39;49m]
