Title:
  Booting an image without a kernel/initrd on baremetal fails without
  telling user why

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  1. setup baremetal hypervisor
  2. upload image without specifying kernel/initrd
  3. boot server with said image
  4. Wait till nova list/show shows the server as "ACTIVE"
  5. observe system failing to boot with "invalid kernel" message after deploy kernel boots properly and lays image down.
  6. on tftp server note that "kernel" is written as a json file that looks like a response from keystone about images.

  What would I expect:

  The node should immediately go into ERROR state, or preferably would
  fail on asking to boot with a baremetal flavor and no kernel.
