Title:
  Viewing console while launching a VDI instances causes error status s
  error status

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Expired

Bug description:
  Description of problem: If you access an instance's console while
  launching an a VDI image, instance status: error. Ran this a few times
  if however you wait until instance has completed booting before
  accessing console it boots up fine. This doesn't happen with Cirros
  QCOW.

  VDI image used, must be uncompressed:
  http://downloads.sourceforge.net/virtualboximage/dsl-4.2.5-x86.7z

  Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
  RHEL 6.5 
  openstack-nova-compute-2014.1.1-2.el6ost.noarch

  How reproducible:
  Every time, tested three times.

  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. In my case Glance uses a Gluster share, don't think it's related.
  2. Upload VDI image to Glance.
  3. Launch an instance from VDI image.
  4. Before instances completes boot process, go to instance's console.
  5. Instance's failed to boot, status error. 
  6. Repeat above steps, this time wait for instance to complete boot process then go to console, status is active. 

  Actual results:

  Failed to boot VDI instance, when accessing instance's console before
  instance is active.

  On compute.log instance ID  13b23f83-9587-4068-a6d1-d2b8034d0e80
  status error, while instance ID 542bfd5e-866e-4af4-ab59-f1ecb86bfa2f
  booted up fine.

  Expected results:

  VDI instance should boot up even if you look at console during boot
  process, just like Cirros qcow.
