Public bug reported: For months we have been working around a bug in ami-6836dc01, but this seems not to be reported any place. Is this a known issue?
When we use ruby/puppet (from the Canonical repo) on an instance with this AMI (e.g. a c1.medium) or in some cases when using java applications the instance gets locked up. Our work-around is using kernel 2.6.27-22-xen instead - the person who created the fixed AMI used this method: - launch instance of ami-7e28ca17 (instance #1) - modprobe loop on instance #1 - copy up creds, jdk and ec2-ami-tools to /dev/shm on instance #1 - launch instance of ami-69d73000 (canonical-beta-us/ubuntu-intrepid-beta2-20090226-i386.manifest.xml) to grab kernel modules from (instance #2) - tar.gz /lib/modules/2.6.27-22-xen on instance #2 - scp to instance #1 and untar in /lib/modules - rm -rf the old /lib/modules/2.6.24-10-xen dir on instance #1 - edit quick-bundle script on instance #1 to hard-code AKI to aki-20c12649, ARI to ari-21c12648 (the AKI and ARI from instance #2). - hard-coded manifest name, bucket to whatever. - run pre-clean script on instance #1 - run quick-bundle script on instance #1 The console output from a locked instance is attached ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: ec2-images -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/705562 Title: ami-6836dc01 8.04 32 bit AMI kernel lock bug -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
