Howto update the kernel on ec2
First congratulations on a great setup to allow us clueless ones to pick
an ec2 image and launch it directly into the region of our choice.
Very slick!
But...when you do it you get to a dialog where you can choose the kernel
to use. The drop down list includes default and a number of AKI's
(Amazon Kernel Images??) . How do you find out what the AKI's refer to
in Fedora speak, i.e. kernel-3.10.10-100.fc18.x86_64 ?? I googled some
of the aki's , but found nothing.
Also, since the F19 ec2 instance only has one partition:
df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1 2032912 1088744 907784 55% /
devtmpfs 280236 0 280236 0% /dev
tmpfs 302208 0 302208 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 302208 188 302020 1% /run
tmpfs 302208 0 302208 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
we should use an hd0 ( and not hd00 ) aki, correct?
But now I have an F19 instance running. Will I need to do some magic to
upgrade the kernel, or is yum upgrade sufficient?
