- There are two ways to implementate the ec2 kernel for karmic.
1. Xensource patchset.
- maintained by Xensource/citrix
- based on 2.6.18
- need to be forward ported to $KARMIC_
- pain in the ass
2. XEN pv-ops
- we already have this for karmic on both (i386 and amd64)
- need to strip the vmlinuz
- easily maintainable little overhead to maintain
We need to let the kernel team know what we need to do, which includes the following:
- Kernel configuration changes
- Additional patches that are needed in order to run a kernel for EC2.
- Additional help that is needed.
