This is a linking bug for an upstream issue. On boot, cloud-init is copying a Debian-style /etc/network/interfaces on top of the Gentoo /etc/conf.d/net. Since they have radically different syntaxes, this causes the Gentoo boot to break. Here's an example of it, booting on DreamHost's DreamCompute OpenStack environment: http://dev.gentoo.org/~robbat2/gentoo-openstack-amd64-default-20160421.console.txt
does ~0.7.6_p1212 fix it for you?
I was bit by this today, yippee. I note that cloud-init-0.7.7 is now available, but have not looked at it. No version currently in the tree works for me. Another little detail, the 0.7.6_p1212 version does not install the init scripts with +x, looks like it just drops the files instead of the usual doinitd fun. All of this is in the context of AWS EC2, btw. Any workarounds or clues? I guess I will go back to using my mangled version of app-admin/amazon-ec2-init for now.
Another note, I see this from cloud-init on a fresh install too. This seems to mean that dev-python/oauthlib should be installed. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python2.7/cloud-init", line 43, in <module> from cloudinit import netinfo File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cloudinit/netinfo.py", line 23, in <module> import cloudinit.util as util File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cloudinit/util.py", line 59, in <module> from cloudinit import url_helper File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cloudinit/url_helper.py", line 32, in <module> import oauthlib.oauth1 as oauth1 ImportError: No module named oauthlib.oauth1
I've updated cloud-init to 0.7.7, fixing the chmod issue and updating the deps. Was that the only issue you had? can you test the new stuff? @robbat2 can this be closed? I'm working on up-streaming that patch.
submitted a patch to https://code.launchpad.net/~prometheanfire/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/303339
I've started https://github.com/prometheanfire/cloud-init (which cloud-init-9999 installs) I haven't tested it, but it's my working area for getting this stuff working.
@quantumsummers, try cloud-init-9999 it worksforme, I'm going to try and get it into 0.7.8.
fixed in 0.7.8 networking requires a reboot still though
cloud-init and cloud-init-local should be runlevel boot cloud-init-local should not depend on netmount fix for first boot is here https://code.launchpad.net/~prometheanfire/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/307969 also added an elog to pkg_postinst to let people know that cloud-init-local should run in the boot runlevel fix is in 0.7.8-r1
