[Starcluster] URGENT: Old Starcluster 32-bit AMI needed

[Justin Riley]

Hi Seppo/All,

I've posted an issue on the Amazon S3 forums:

http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/thread.jspa?threadID=43319&tstart=0at 

I checked the starcluster bucket with S3Fox and the image files/manifests for 
the two public starcluster images were in fact removed from S3 somehow. I'm 
not sure at the moment if they were actually deleted or just aren't showing up 
because of an issue with my bucket. I certainly don't recall removing any 
images from S3 in the last week or so. 

In any case, I'm not going to wait for Amazon on this one. I'm working to 
recreate the old images and will post the new ami id's when I'm finished. I 
hope to have something out by days end tomorrow.

I apologize for the inconvenience and will take measures to see that this 
doesn't happen again in the future. 

Thanks,

~Justin
