Latests version of the ks file is here:
http://github.com/huff/kickstart-stuff/blob/master/fedora-ec2-min.ks

to generate the image run the command:
# mkdir include (this is for the kernels)
# appliance-creator --cache /var/cache/ac/ -d -v -i ./include  -n 
fedora-ec2-image -c 
http://github.com/huff/kickstart-stuff/raw/master/fedora-ec2-min.ks

I ran some tests tonight and was able to boot this image in kvm on f12 
with no selinux issues, I did have to change the fs=label, and fstabb/c 
kvm did not like xvda, but had no problem booting this image.

I was not able to test in xen however. If someone could provide me with 
example xen paravirt config file (non hvm), I will try and test in xen 
tomorrow.
