Hello everybody, I made some progresses with the preparation of Amazon Machine Images with a preseeded Debian-Installer, thanks to the option --root-device-name of euca-register (and it API equivalent), which either I never noticed before or is quite recent, and solved my problem of not being able to boot an image that is not installed partitionless.
While I have not yet devised a preseed file that would fully automate the process, the method is already useful when using the network console (via password; for a reason I do not understand, my latest test with SSH keys did not work). Since Debian-Installer for Wheezy is not often updated, maintaining public images of it is not much work. I therefore went ahead and made one image per Amazon region, using the debian account that James Bromberger kindly prepared and uses to distribute Debian images. For the moment, please consider these images experimental; I might delete them if they have a strong defect. But my plan otherwise is to produce new ones each time the Stable installer is updated, and keep them as long as Stable is supported. The machine numbers and the explanation on how I created them are available on our wiki. https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2DebianInstaller I hope that you will find them useful ! For the moment, I only prepared amd64 images, but if you need i386 ones, please let me know, or create one yourself following the instructions, it is really simple.
