[ovirt-users] VM autoconfiguration

Hello,

so, first for Centos 6.5.

I made a template with steps from
http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide:

touch /.unconfigured
rm -rf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*

After starting system created from my template it stops on "set new root 
password", I must set something (may be empty) and then shows up 
authconfig-tui, must confirm.

After this cloud-init set everything ok - network, hostname, 
authorized_keys, root password. To have network working, must set 
network in "Initial Run" to eth1, not eth0. So it is good to remove 
ifcfg-eth0 from template. But works.

Bad thing is that stop on root password and authconfig-tui. I think it 
is some issue with unconfigured state, not with cloud-init - but don't know.

cloud-init-0.7.4-2.el6.noarch from epel, don't know simple way to 
downgrade.
cloud-init logs:

Thanks, Jiri
