 I just successfully launched an AMI using ami-820fddeb, and used ssh to 
 log into it.
 
 My suspicion is that when you have trouble, the instance is crashing 
 before you can log in.  Can you get the console output when this 
 happens?  (ec2-get-console-output <instance-id>)
 
 Specifically, I'm interested in the hypervisor version, because amazon 
 runs some old ones:
 
 hypervisor0 at mainbus0: Xen version 3.4
 
 Unfortunately, this particular AMI doesn't show the teeny version (later 
 AMIs do), but the problems I've seen have been when it lands on a 3.1.2 
 or early hypervisor.
