The first reinstall I started before going to bed, so at least 6 hours between it finishing and me checking my mail, there was nothing. It's been 3 hours since the second reinstall (with SSH key)... still nothing, the email from the initial install came through within 5 mins of the install completing.

It just seems a little odd.

Update:
Thanks for the rescue mode tip, it worked, I was able to log in and then alter the authorised keys file. Which I can confirm did not have the SSH key I set.

I'm trying to reinstall my server with a different disk setup, first time it the system did not e-mail me new login credentials and the old ones would not work.

So I reinstalled again and supplied an SSH key expecting to not need a password, however the server is rejecting the key.

At this point I'd just like to know if anyone else has encountered this (is it a known bug or something)?
