Public bug reported: For Quantal and Raring you're able to successfully boot the img file with kvm without supplying any cloud-config data. However 12.04.2 seems to require it as the VM will halt and never complete and display a boot prompt.
Expected Result: (Works in Quantal and Raring) eneration complete. Cloud-init v. 0.7 running 'modules:final' at Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:29:23 +0000.
