Chetan, I suspect you have not done an apt-get update before installing the ec2-ami-tools that you think are broken. I've done the following and verified that an instance will boot correctly after being re-bundled with lucid-updates versions of ec2-ami-tools:
## run an instance of ami-809a48e9 ## us-east-1 ami-809a48e9 canonical ubuntu-lucid-10.04-i386-server-20120221 $ ec2-run-instances --region us-east-1 --instance-type m1.small ami-809a48e9 $ rhost=ec2-107-22-87-33.compute-1.amazonaws.com $ ssh rhost ## now, assuming all variables are set up for use of ec2-api and ec2-ami ## tools ## add multiverse $ sudo sed -i 's,main universe$,main universe multiverse,g' \ /etc/apt/sources.list $ sudo apt-get update -y $ sudo apt-get install ec2-api-tools ec2-ami-tools -y $ dpkg-query --show ec2-api-tools ec2-ami-tools ec2-ami-tools 1.3-45758-0ubuntu1.1 ec2-api-tools 1.3.46266-0ubuntu1 ## assuming all variables set up for use of this $ BUNDLE_D=/mnt/my.bundle $ sudo rm -Rf $BUNDLE_D $ mkdir -p $BUNDLE_D $ sudo sh -c modprobe loop || : ## may take quite a long time (10s of minutes) $ sudo -E ec2-bundle-vol --arch i386 --destination $BUNDLE_D --prefix testbundle.img --user 950047163771 --size 10240 --exclude /mnt,/root/.ssh --cert=$EC2_CERT --privatekey=$EC2_PRIVATE_KEY $ sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /mnt/wd # get current availability-zone, security-group, instance-type, keypair # from metadata service using ec2metadata $ ec2-upload-bundle --access-key=$EC2_ACCESS_KEY --secret-key=$EC2_SECRET_KEY --bucket smoser-amitools-us-east-1 --manifest $BUNDLE_D/testbundle.img.manifest.xml $ ec2-register --region us-east-1 --cert=$EC2_CERT --private-key=$EC2_PRIVATE_KEY smoser-amitools-us-east-1/testbundle.img.manifest.xml AMI=ami-abcdefg ## run instance of $AMI $ ec2-run-instances --region us-east-1 --cert=$EC2_CERT --private-key=$EC2_PRIVATE_KEY --key default $AMI --group default --instance-type m1.small The instance came up fine, and I verified ssh to it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/939212 Title: AMI created from latest i386 Lucid image fails to boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ec2-ami-tools/+bug/939212/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
