Of note, I am using the external kernel that is visible on EC2. Here is my xen guest config: name = "F1264" uuid = "45777eb3-251b-e70a-1cb6-3ad837351441" maxmem = 1024 memory = 1024 vcpus = 2 kernel = "/tmp/kernels/vmlinux-2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86_64" ramdisk = "/tmp/kernels/initramfs-2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86_64.img" root = "/dev/xvda1 ro" on_poweroff = "destroy" on_reboot = "restart" on_crash = "restart" vfb = [ "type=vnc,vncunused=1,keymap=en-us" ] disk = [ "tap:aio:/home/data/xen/fedora-ec2-image-xvda.raw,xvda,w" ] vif = [ "mac=00:16:36:6e:0e:d5,bridge=virbr0,script=vif-bridge" ] Notice the selinux issue is now resolved. I will upload this image to EC2 for a test run at the end of the day. Justin
