[ec2] kernel problem on EU instance

[Baldur Norddahl]

Hi Eric,

My goal is to make an image for the EU region. I only accidently uploaded
the image to the US region.

The image for that worked on the US region was a 9.04. But I really wanted
to make an 8.04 LTS image so aki-a17493c8 is what you get when you specify
8.04.

How do I find good kernels and ramdisks to specify with the --ec2-kernel and
--ec2-ramdisk option?

Thanks for the help (also thanks to Chuck for replying)
