[11:40] <flaccid> with debian bundling, im getting http://groups.google.com/group/ec2debian/browse_thread/thread/840e99a7da89e032
[11:40] <flaccid> need a solution
[16:16] <erichammond> flaccid: Have you tried as the error suggests?: modprobe loop
[20:56] <flaccid> erichammond: yeah there is a few loop mods on their, but they don't seem to work, can you confirm the location of the one that should. the one that matches the kernel version doesn't seem to work
[20:57] <erichammond> flaccid: You haven't listed what AMI or AKI you are using
[20:57] <flaccid> one moment sorry for being vague, back in AU now - just waking up
[20:58] <flaccid> debian 5 0 lenny base 64 20090804 (ami-2d46a744)
[20:59] <erichammond> The command "modprobe loop" works on that AMI.
[21:00] <flaccid> i get FATAL: Error inserting loop (/lib/modules/2.6.21.7-2.fc8xen/kernel/drivers/block/loop.ko): Invalid module format
[21:02] <flaccid> maybe i should try http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/message.jspa?messageID=66009
[21:03] <erichammond> I started an m1.large instance of ami-2d46a744 and ran "modprobe loop" on it successfully.
[21:05] <flaccid> hmm weird
[21:06] <flaccid> well for me it looks like for some reason i'd have to recompile the mod
[21:06] <erichammond> What do you get for: sum /lib/modules/2.6.21.7-2.fc8xen/kernel/drivers/block/loop.ko
[21:07] <flaccid> 31155    21
[21:08] <erichammond> Somehow, you've overwritten loop.ko; The one on that AMI is: 17487    32
[21:09] <flaccid> yeah, i think im going to have to go back through the rightscale install scripts and see if there is something in there that does that. thats gotta be the problem i would assume
[21:11] <flaccid> looks like its in the install_modules script
[21:11] <flaccid> thanks muchly eric. surely didn't notice that in the script
[21:13] <flaccid> also need to change the arch variable in the script to use uname -m
[21:14] <erichammond> My next release of the Debian (and Ubuntu) AMIs should include the brand new rightscale init script which bootstraps the RIghtScale software install process when run in a RightScale environment.
[21:15] <flaccid> oh cool y0. you made this script ?
[21:15] <smoser> anyone know if the initrds for amazon kernels are generally available ? outside of just booting them ? i'd like to see the contents.
[21:16] <erichammond> flaccid: Nope, it's from RightScale.
[21:16] <flaccid> erichammond: can you link me to it ? must be something i don't know about
[21:16] <erichammond> smoser: I don't think they are available.  The images are probably not public on S3.
[21:16] <flaccid> unless its the same one i'm working on now
[21:17] <erichammond> flaccid: Yep, let me find the Ubuntu bug which mentions it.
[21:17] <erichammond> flaccid: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ec2-init/+bug/434181
[21:18] <smoser> hmmph. that stinks.
[21:19] <erichammond> smoser: The most likely place the would be (if they existed) is in Amazon's ec2-downloads bucket where all the kernel modules are stored.  I don't remember the exact name of the bucket.
[21:19] <erichammond> http://ec2-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/
[21:21]  * Debolaz starts planning his first production-use of EC2. Ubuntu based of course.
[21:21] <erichammond> smoser: You could also ask on http://ec2forum.notlong.com or perhaps Attila would be able to help.
[21:21] <smoser> i'm noticing that if i use ec2 kernel and initrd i get the console output with our alpha6 that i'm missing (the user level output... bug 431103)
[21:21] <flaccid> erichammond: hmm is there like a link in there for this script or anything ?
[21:23] <smoser> flaccid, are you looking for http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32188125/rightimage_ec2_canonical ?
[21:23] <smoser> on the bug page look in lower right for "attachments"
[21:36] <flaccid> thanks y0
[21:36] <flaccid> erichammond: so is this all that is required to rs enable your images ?
[21:38] <erichammond> flaccid: As I understand it, that is RightScale's goal.
[21:39] <erichammond> flaccid: Perhaps you could open up a dialog with your co-workers on the topic and let us know what you find :)
[21:39] <erichammond> (off to lunch)
[21:39] <flaccid> i might do that right now. thats the first script i've seen with a debian condition in it..
[21:41] <flaccid> lsb_release -si return Ubuntu on ubuntu ?
[22:36] <erichammond> flaccid: lsb_release -si => Ubuntu
[22:37] <erichammond> Of course, with EC2 you could find this out yourself for $0.10 :)
[22:43] <flaccid> oh i wouldn't pay anything .. but you know booting up an instance takes at least a few minutes :)
[22:54] <erichammond> flaccid: I just ran an instance of Hardy (ami-e546a78c) and had a bash prompt through ssh in 33 seconds.  Jaunty (ami-ed46a784) took 43 seconds to get to the prompt.  It cost me $0.20 to tell you this.
[22:56] <flaccid> and would of cost me nothing :)
