Package: cloud.debian.org
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Debian 9 cloud images do not boot if a KVM VM does not have a video device
(OpenStack creates such VMs if remote console is not configured in
nova-compute):
qemu-system-x86_64 consumes 100% CPU and the VM is not booted.

The fix is to uncomment "GRUB_TERMINAL=console" in /etc/default/grub and
run "update-grub"

Note that Ubuntu cloud images have the following configuration in
/etc/default/grub:
GRUB_TERMINAL="serial console"
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --speed=115200"
