No problem, it is working like it should.

When you first ssh'd from your FC1 box to the now reloaded box, the host
key was saved in ~/.ssh/known_hosts. Now you have reloaded the box so
the host key has changed.

Now when you ssh from your FC1 box it fails because it has detected that
this is not the same machine it connected to last time. This is a
security feature.

just remove the entry from ~/.ssh/known_hosts and connect again. It will
prompt to save the new host key.
