Public bug reported:

I am testing the vmware native driver of nova compute component.

My environment should be workable before I upgrade my vCenter and EXSi from 5.0 to 5.5.
After the upgrade, I found all the existing VMs boot from nova can not be started in my vCenter with 'Operating system not found' error.

I tried to delete the image cache in my datastore under the _base
directory and try to boot a new one, it doesn't help, the problem is
still.

I get a new image from here:
http://partnerweb.vmware.com/programs/vmdkimage/debian-2.6.32-i686.vmdk
, this one is workable in my env.

So, I am confusing what's wrong with my existing image which should be
workable fine before my upgrade.

Here is my image in the glance:
