I've downloaded the lucid uec tar.gz, chrooted and customized it to my likings, including removing all the kernels to reduce the size as much as possible while growing the img size to use the whole 10GB root of a small ec2 instance (otherwise you only get the 1.5 the img is created as). As an AKI I've actually used the one reported here[1] (aki-6603f70f). I used the default ramdisk ARI, altho I'd very much like to understand what that implies since that image is not supposed to use a ramdisk afaik and I'm not sure which ones do and why and how you'd pick an ARI if needed. Anyway, I'm a step closer. Next I'll try to rebuilt the whole thing with vmbuilder, especially since the current lucid kernel does not seem to have bridging support available which I need for lxc, so guess I'll have to work out the pv-grub stuff after all and run my own kernel. cheerio Spike [1] http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/query/lucid/server/released.current.txt -- "Behind every great man there's a great backpack" - B. -- Ubuntu-cloud mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-cloud
