[Kieran Evans <keyz182@xxxxxxxxx>]

No worries, as I mentioned previously, my main "production" Openstack install is Diablo/Ubuntu/KVM, I'm just looking into XenServer as a potential future route. 

I'll keep an eye out for any news on the pack.

I'm sure you have what you need already, but if you want a user with some servers to test installing the pack, I'm happy to help!

You could have root-squashing turned on, and then every file that’s supposed to be owned by root is owned by an unprivileged user instead.  It wouldn’t surprise me that this freaks out the init process.
