James, was it hanging or shutting down after that error in the log?

Title:
  commissioning fails silently if a node can't reach the region
  controller

Status in Init scripts for use on cloud images:
  New
Status in MAAS:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  We recently had a node which completely refused to commission in MAAS.
  After (literally) several man days of debugging, we figured out that
  it was because the node couldn't talk to the region controller over
  HTTP.

  Obviously, that's ultimately our mistake/problem, but MAAS could have
  been a lot better at helping us to help ourselves; currently, there's
  absolutely no indication from the boot process that the HTTP
  connection to the region controller is the problem.

  Attached is the serial console output (from the point of boot) for the
  node that was failing to commission.  91.189.94.35 is the MAAS region
  controller and 91.189.88.20 is the MAAS cluster controller.
