They are all EBS backed. following is the list of amis  per region:

Using ami-d96ea3b0, yum upgrade fails due to grub2 and grub conflicts.

http://fpaste.org/wX89/

I'm posting this here because I think it's an ec2-specific bug, but I 
don't know for sure.  For some reason, I was under the impression that 
the EC2 images still need grub, while the rest of Fedora 16 has moved to 
grub2.

But smarter folks than I will correct me and explain whether this bug is 
limted to F16 EC2, or is for F16 overall.

since ec2 uses pv-grub we need to not install grub or grub2. grub2's
config file is incompatible. grub1 is no longer available. we just need
a grub1 style config file.

Is there a bugzilla open for that somewhere?  Where is it being tracked, 
etc.?
