As I understand it, there's no grub in the ec2 instances because grub2 was not happy with the xen paravirtualized devices. And also it's not necessary. Our instructions for OpenStack here https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_OpenStack_Nova#Downloading_Existing_Images have a little script for injecting syslinux as a bootloader so the images work with openstack. A notable drawback is that kernel updates don't actually take effect without manual intervention. Plus, of course, if we don't start doing this ourselves, it means an extra annoying step for everyone. It looks to me that more recent grub2 is patched to deal with the situation -- see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/623609 and code in current grub-2.00/util/getroot.c. Is there anything I'm missing here, and, what's the best way forward? (Grub in everything? Grub in images on mirrors, skip it in ec2?) -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
