I terminated the prevoius instance, and started from scratch.
1. Searching for an AMI: looking at public, 32-bit images and the Debian
platform. There are 93 images available. Looks like there are 2 or
3 for Wheezy. Choosing
AMI ID ami-f494e99d
AMI Name debian-wheezy-i386-20130705
Owner 379101102735
Source 379101102735/debian-wheezy-i386-20130705
Status available
State Reason -
Platform Debian
Architecture i386
Image Type machine
Description Debian 7.1a (Wheezy) Base
Root Device Name /dev/sda1
Root Device Type ebs
RAM disk ID -
Kernel ID aki-b6aa75df
Product Codes -
Block Devices /dev/sda1=snap-df83078f:8:true:standard
and launch it.
2. Using a size of 30GB and without implicit deletion on termination.
It is running.
As an aside: there is
https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2Image/Wheezy
3. vps is running and can be connected by ssh.
4. root@ip-vps:~# shutdown -r now
successfuly reboots the machine. And so does Amazon API.
5. root@ip-vps:~# aptitude -R safe-upgrade linux-image-686-pae
Resolving dependencies...
The following NEW packages will be installed:
linux-image-3.10-3-686-pae{a}
The following packages will be upgraded:
initramfs-tools linux-image-686-pae
The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
busybox busybox-static firmware-linux-free libc6-i686
2 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 134 not upgraded.
Need to get 24.3 MB of archives. After unpacking 87.5 MB will be used.
linux-image-3.10-3-686-pae is now installed. Grub is set to boot
it by default. Rebooting from inside the vps.
6. It takes a few minutes to see that Amazon API reports a running
Instant State and 1/2 checks for Status checks. The machine does not
respond to the network. The boot log follows. I hope the deletion
of many empty lines, and ncurses codes interfering with copy-paste
didn't remove important information.
ll now restart.
