[18:44] <cliluw> How do I build the AWS-specific Ubuntu kernel? I found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel, but the kernel I built with it doesn't work on EC2.
[18:46] <patdk-lap> did you use the config file from the aws kernel?
[18:47] <cliluw> No, I did not. Do I grab that with `apt source linux-aws`?
[18:47] <patdk-lap> no
[18:47] <patdk-lap> it should be in the /boot folder
[18:49] <cliluw> patdk-lap: So I have to build the AWS kernel on AWS? (I'm already doing that, but I want to be sure.)
[18:49] <patdk-lap> no
[18:49] <patdk-lap> but you have to enable the drivers aws requires
[18:50] <patdk-lap> unless you using a REALLY old aws instance that doesn't require aws specific drivers
[18:50] <cliluw> Ahh, yes, that explains why the generic kernel I built caused my instance to be unreachable.
[18:50] <patdk-lap> ya, lacks the specific aws network driver
[18:51] <patdk-lap> I think there is another aws specific driver also, but it's been awhile
[18:52] <patdk-lap> https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/enhanced-networking-ena.html
[18:52] <patdk-lap> if you want reading matterial
[18:53] <patdk-lap> but really just using the config from an aws kernel should be enough
[18:53] <cliluw> After I get that config, I just follow the standard build procedure from the wiki page?
[18:53] <patdk-lap> dunno
[18:53] <patdk-lap> I assume you can pass the config file as an option or something, I have never tried it
