Comment 8 for bug 727814

Stefan, your workaround would almost be acceptable if this were the only bug in play. However, for those of us booting Maverick AMIs for PV-grub, and then using cloud-init to auto-downgrade the kernel to Karmic's or auto-upgrade to Natty's (because let's face it, so far Lucid and Maverick have yet to have a production-capable kernel for EC2 use), lack of a reboot method that works from a shellscript inside the instance itself without sensitive keys is a no-go for even initially booting from Maverick AMIs with this bug in them. Luckily the older Maverick AMIs from before this bug was introduced are still available...
