Public bug reported: Under bug 684875 I added a cmdline option to the EC2 HVM instances [1]: xen_emul_unplug=unnecesarry
This flag is required to get the instance to boot on EC2 HVM instances. With bug 684875 fixed, we expected that this would no longer be necessary. However, I've tested today and it is still necessary with $ uname -r 2.6.37-12-virtual $ dpkg -S /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) linux-image-2.6.37-12-virtual: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-12-virtual I'll attach console logs. -- [1] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-on-ec2/ubuntu-on-ec2/ec2-publishing-scripts/revision/258#publish-build-ebs ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: linux-image-2.6.37-12-virtual 2.6.37-12.26 Regression: No Reproducible: Yes ProcVersionSignature: User Name 2.6.37-12.26-virtual 2.6.37 Uname: Linux 2.6.37-12-virtual x86_64 AlsaDevices: Error: command ['ls', '-l', '/dev/snd/'] failed with exit code 2: ls: cannot access /dev/snd/: No such file or directory AplayDevices: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Architecture: amd64 ArecordDevices: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory CurrentDmesg: [ 20.210048] eth0: no IPv6 routers present Date: Mon Jan 17 15:42:24 2011 Ec2AMI: ami-f442b39d Ec2AMIManifest: (unknown) Ec2AvailabilityZone: us-east-1d Ec2InstanceType: cc1.4xlarge Ec2Kernel: unavailable Ec2Ramdisk: unavailable IwConfig: lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions.
