FLAT network injection failed
When I have in nova.conf
--flat_network_bridge=br0 --flat_injected=1
I cannot run the ubuntu-10.10 UEC image. The nova-compute.log shows ...

It seems that Nova tried to modify the /etc/network/interfaces file on the instance image to inject network configuration but could find that 'interfaces' file. Is this the case? If so, any idea why this would fail? Or is it looking for the interfaces file on the physical host? If this is the case then I am having a problem since the nova-compute node is running RHEL-6.
Thanks a lot.
