Public bug reported: It is fairly standard practice to include kernel modules in images for Amazon EC2, but the most recent Karmic AMIs do not include them:
ami-a40fefcd canonical-alphas-us/karmic-i386-alpha5.1.manifest.xml ami-a20fefcb canonical-alphas-us/karmic-x86_64-alpha5.1.manifest.xml099720109477 Some other options have been discussed like building kernel modules into the kernel or copying them from initrd into /lib/modules at boot time, but the easiest approach to get things working in the short term is probably just to follow the existing de facto standard and include the kernel modules for the AMI's default kernel. If somebody wants to run it with a different kernel, they are already used to having to install those kernel modules themselves. Ideally, the addition of the kernel modules would be done by default in the vmbuilder EC2 plugin so that it works when normal users create images with vmbuilder. If it is done some other way, the method should be documented publicly so that users can create working images. ** Affects: vm-builder (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: ec2-images ** Package changed: ubuntu => vm-builder (Ubuntu) -- ec2: Include kernel modules in AMIs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429169 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vm-builder in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
