See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/UserProvidedkernels.html#AmazonKernelImageIDs for more. This will then use /boot/grub/menu.lst (which symlinks to /boot/grub/grub.conf; implementation detail) to boot a kernel on the image. (Grub isn't actually used on the images, just the config file. Also you may notice that the images contain extlinux; that's because they're identical to the downloadable qcow2 images meant to boot in openstack or other cloud providers without pv-grub). > But now I have an F19 instance running.

Of course, there's a tiny chance that something will go horribly wrong -- if it does, please report. (As a matter of course, make sure you're not storing anything irreplaceable on a cloud instance anyway.) -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
