[ec2] kernel problem on EU instance

[ehammond at thinksome.com]

Baldur:

EC2 uses different kernels in each region, so you'll need to specify the
correct kernel and ramdisk for the eu-west-1 region.

Using vmbuilder, this can be done with the --ec2-kernel and
--ec2-ramdisk options.  Make sure you use a matching kernel/ramdisk pair.

If you don't specify a kernel/ramdisk, it looks like vmbuilder defaults
to ones appropriate for the us-east-1 region.  Perhaps this could be
enhanced to look at the target region for the image.

Hm, on second glance, it looks like vmbuilder doesn't support a
--ec2-region option yet.

Are you trying to directly target the EU region or are you migrating an
image from US to EU?

BTW, I don't see aki-a17493c8 even on the us-east-1 region.  What Ubuntu
release are you trying to build?
