<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hello All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Following guidlines in the manual (starcluster start -o ) I created a custom AMI based on ami-52a0c53b (us-east-1 starcluster-base-ubuntu-12.04-x86_64-hvm (HVM-EBS)) using StarCluster 0.96.6 on a c3.large instance. When I launch a cluster using this AMI
it just hangs at 'waiting for SSH to come up' and eventually just dies there.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For my custom AMI I did the following (all as root, via sshmaster):</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">updated Ubuntu 12.04 packages</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">installed packages my app required</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">installed python and R libraries</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">setup S3FS-Fuse and added FSTAB entry</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">modified sshd_config to allow password logins</span></li></ul>
<div>This instance runs fine, I can stop, restart, reboot, etc.. and everything is fine. Only when I create the AMI does it stop working, I've tried creating the AMI from starcluster ebsimage as well as from the AWS management console.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I realize I can just create plugins to make these changes, but I'm curious if others have run into this issue.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you very much,</div>
<div>Robert</div>
</div>
