I have created a private AMI from the image I had running from my other EC2 instance. When I create the instance using that private AMI, it boots up fine but when I restart the newly created instance, it stops responding. I can't even connect through SSH into it.

How can I see what is going wrong?

Is your EC2 instance connected to EBS for persistence? If it is not it can not be stopped and started. See Elastic Block Store section on this page: aws.amazon.com/ec2 – Terrell Plotzki Jun 19 '11 at 17:07
Root device on the AWS console shows as EBS – ed1t Jun 19 '11 at 17:09
Were you able to ping the server? Also, share the kind of error you get & the way your created your AMI? Confirm when you created your EBS AMI should have content in /etc/fstab. – RakeshS Jun 20 '11 at 5:14
