Hey all,

Just sending a notice to folks that the Chef bootstrap process doesn't work on the new EC2 micro instances when running Ubuntu 10.04.  It fails on the Java recipe, specifically the openjdk-6-jre-headless package.  This is a known bug (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ec2/+bug/634487/).  The same bootstrap runs perfectly on an m1.small instance type.  I lost a good day's work on this, so I'm passing it along so others don't bang their heads against this, too :)
