Public bug reported: Binary package hint: euca2ools
images bundled with euca-bundle-img do not run on EC2, but go from 'pending' to 'terminated'. Below is an example, that can be run on natty, given appropriately configured euca2ools. ----- bucket=MY_BUCKET_HERE; # set your bucket here imgurl=http://smoser.brickies.net/ubuntu/ttylinux-uec/ttylinux-uec-i686-12.1_2.6.35-22_1.tar.gz wget ${imgurl} -O "${imgurl##*/}" tar -Sxvzf "${imgurl##*/}" img=$(ls *.img) n="euca"; rm -Rf ${n}-wd; mkdir ./${n}-wd; EC2PRE=${n}- uec-publish-image --kernel aki-407d9529 \ -vv --rename mytest-${n}.img --working-dir ${n}-wd \ i386 ${img} $bucket; The above will result in a ami that will go straight from pending to 'terminated'. Using the ec2-api-tools and ec2-ami-tools, the instance will start and go to 'running'. Note, that it won't actually boot, but that is a problem with the image itself, not with the tools (some bug with pv-grub loading). With the newest version of cloud-utils, you can set up your environment variables correctly, and then just change 'euca' to 'ec2' to use the ec2-a[mp]i-tools rather than euca2ools, and it will all work.
