The big takeaway from my perspective: we need as much help as we can get to create an F12 image that boots on RHEL 5.5 + Xen. Then we take *that* image and test it on EC2. It may well fail, since it appears that they're running a Frankenstein RHEL 5.(0-2), but at least we'll be able to isolate their failures, demonstrate that we've got our stuff working, and put pressure on them to fix if need be.
<gregdek> OK, so to recap the plan: <gregdek> * huff will post the latest ks and tools he's been using to get latest image, to remind everyone of where we're at. <gregdek> * others feel free to hack at the ks and build/test new images, sending feedback to the list. <gregdek> * eventually we'll get something that boots on rhel 5.5 xen. <gregdek> * then we try to upload Teh Winnar to EC2. <gregdek> * It will probably fail, at which point we'll throw it over the wall to Amazon -- or maybe it'll work, in which case, WIN! <gregdek> Is that about right? <smooge> yes. <huff> sounds good to me

Latests version of the ks file is here: http://github.com/huff/kickstart-stuff/blob/master/fedora-ec2-min.ks
to generate the image run the command: # mkdir include (this is for the kernels) # appliance-creator --cache /var/cache/ac/ -d -v -i ./include -n fedora-ec2-image -c http://github.com/huff/kickstart-stuff/raw/master/fedora-ec2-min.ks
I ran some tests tonight and was able to boot this image in kvm on f12 with no selinux issues, I did have to change the fs=label, and fstabb/c kvm did not like xvda, but had no problem booting this image.
I was not able to test in xen however. If someone could provide me with example xen paravirt config file (non hvm), I will try and test in xen tomorrow.

I was able to boot this image on a RHEL5.5 box with xen xen-3.0.3-105.el5. Again I had to change back to sda in both grub.conf and fstab instead of xvda (why did we change to xvda?) however I had no selinux issues.

Odd, I got it to work with xvda and this config file... Of note, I am using the external kernel that is visible on EC2. Here is my xen guest config:
name = "F1264" uuid = "45777eb3-251b-e70a-1cb6-3ad837351441" maxmem = 1024 memory = 1024 vcpus = 2 kernel = "/tmp/kernels/vmlinux-2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86_64" ramdisk = "/tmp/kernels/initramfs-2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86_64.img" root = "/dev/xvda1 ro" on_poweroff = "destroy" on_reboot = "restart" on_crash = "restart" vfb = [ "type=vnc,vncunused=1,keymap=en-us" ] disk = [ "tap:aio:/home/data/xen/fedora-ec2-image-xvda.raw,xvda,w" ] vif = [ "mac=00:16:36:6e:0e:d5,bridge=virbr0,script=vif-bridge" ]
Notice the selinux issue is now resolved. I will upload this image to EC2 for a test run at the end of the day.
