Correct. I don't believe our install CDs are xen-enabled. You would need to boot from another environment, or install the files from outside of the xen environment. When I'm installing Gentoo on ec2 now I typically just boot any convenient EMI, mount an EBS image, extract a stage3, then install/configure a xen-enabled kernel. I haven't done an EC2 install in a while but I do have a .config that used to work lying around. I believe most of the instructions are on my blog as well - probably one of the more visited pages as it is probably helpful for getting any distro working on EC2/Xen. -- Rich
