Sean,
I've not been able to replicate this issue at all. It worked
successfully for me.
Could you try the following steps/provide some info to help us diagnose
if there is a general issue.
First just ensure everything is fresh:
1. `yum update -y`
2. Delete your old build and log directories, or use a fresh directory.
Run BoxGrinder again with --trace to see if it still fails (just the
basic build is enough).
If it *does* fail again, can you please provide the following info:
1. `gem list -d boxgrinder`
2. `rpm -q rubygem-boxgrinder-build rubygem-boxgrinder-core`
3. How did you get to root? By su, su -, sudo -i?
4. Upload log/boxgrinder.log to gist or fpaste.
Many thanks!
Marc

Hi Sean,
I'm taking a look at this issue and shall see if I can discover what is

Thanks for the suggestion, but no luck. It failed with permissions
issues. Odd since I'm running as root on the boxgrinder EC2 appliance.
Also, it seems to be grabbing the F15 kernels.

Yes, we should make the page more clear about what process was used
to get the official ones vs. what you can do with BoxGrinder.
Sean, everything on that page is up to date. You just need to create
your own appliance definition. Here you have a sample for Fedora 16
JEOS (save it as f16.appl):
name: f16
os:
name: fedora
version: 16
More details here:
http://boxgrinder.org/tutorials/appliance-definition/
Then build it by executing boxgrinder-build f16.appl -p ec2 -d ebs.
If you have troubles, please tell me.

Thanks for the responses. I would suggest that

corrected or taken down.
Is there another, more recent, step-by-step description of how to
build
a fedora EC2 ebs-backed ami? For instance, are there F16 appl files
available?
sean
OK. Putting it in a new directory worked. Sort of - it still picked up
the most recent F15 kernel on the boxgrinder appliance, instead of the
most recent kernel for F16 : kernel-3.1.5-1.fc16.x86_64.
