I'd like to revisit the way this was fixed in {X,Y,Z} and will need to be fixed in T -- which was to add "-aws" to update-grub-legacy-ec2's whitelist of bootable kernel package names.
We'd like to be able to construct additional EC2-target kernel flavors with other (arbitrary) names, without having to keep updating this whitelist in update-grub-legacy-ec2. As has been pointed out in bug 1379080, the value of check is debatable anyway. ("... it is perfectly safe to run a Xen-capable kernel on non- Xen hosts ... Recommendation: Update detection logic to search for CONFIG_XEN=y in the kernel config, and remove version string detection.") I second that proposal, that we eliminate the version string check altogether. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1655934 Title: update-grub-legacy-ec2 should detect -aws kernels as appropriate for EC2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1655934/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
