In following the wiki (http://groups.drupal.org/node/70268) to build a mercury instance, after running the following command (step 5 of the wiki)
sudo bcfg2 -vqed -p 'mercury-aws'
Configuration freezes. Using a second ssh session and restarting the mysql server appears to unfreeze the script however later steps in the configuration surrounding mysql seem broken. Not knowing enough about bcfg2 to understand what it's trying to do that's not working leaves me stumped.
Any suggestions? I'm using the Lucid AMI that's recommended in the wiki and copy pasting commands (carefully) as outlined.

re: Mercury build freezes at mysql
The AMIs listed here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/71943 are pre-built Mercury images. The instructions here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/70268 are for making your own image. They should not be used together (however, we do use http://groups.drupal.org/node/70268 to create the images on http://groups.drupal.org/node/71943.
Hope this helps,
Greg

This is using Canonical's 32-bit Lucid AMI (ami-2d4aa444). What AMI are you using?

looks like the AMI we were using is an "older" AMI from alestic.com, I'll try again using the other AMI.
