Hi, > The maverick images (and natty and later) use pv-grub as their "kernel",
just to clarify, you mean a pv_ops supported kernel, correct? the actual pv-grub kernel is on the host, not in the guests. > The 'lucid/server' url above contains information about 10.04 images. > 10.04 does not use pv-grub, as it was announced by amazon too late in the > 10.04 cycle. That said, I've put some work into making that happen, and > have a ppa up at > https://launchpad.net/~smoser/+archive/lucid-kernel-upgrades feels like I'm confused and there's something that eludes me. Given that amazon has a pv-grub kernel in every zone and that lucid has a linux-ec2 kernel pkg recent enough that it supports pv_ops, why do I need that ppa? can't I just install that kernel and grub like I'd normally do for any other lucid box? > You can do that manually as it appears you've done, or have > legacy-grub-ec2 manage the kernels for you (see that ppa) ok, thanks > In the second and third kernel logs there, it looks to me like the system > is booted fine.

Believe me when I say I wish I could do that, I'd be happily punched in the stomach repeatedly than spending another day pulling my hair on this stuff, and yet here I am. I guess it'd be lovely if some of the resources spent creating those images were also spent in documenting how that was done. > You can learn a lot by doing what you're doing, but you can also lose a > lot of hair. If you don't believe me I believe you, but I still need to get this done unfortunately. thanks for all the comments and suggestions, much appreciated.
