I have created a CentOS 6 AMI from a VMWare vmdk using the following commands:

```
$ec2-bundle-image -i CentOS_6.vmdk -r x86_64 -k ~/.ec2/pk.pem -c ~/.ec2/cert.pem --user <user_id>  
$ec2-upload-bundle -b <bucket_name> -m /tmp/CentOS_6.vmdk.manifest.xml -a <access_id> -s <secret_key>  
$ec2-register <bucket_name>/CentOS_6.vmdk.manifest.xml

```

I launched an instance after creation with m1.large storage. I am facing the following problems:

1. Instance Status Check fails.
2. Cannot ssh into the instance.

Any ideas where I am going wrong?
