Just to clarify - the 32bit/64bit part has nothing to do with what is not
working.  Amazon has two options for the mounted filesystems; EBS, and S3.
 They made a decision for some reason that the micro size would only be
available to EBS-backed AMIs - which is odd, considering that a micro should
be the most throw-away, and ebs is more permanent than S3.  The Fedora AMIs
are currently only available as S3-backed images.  Those will be converted
to EBS soon, however - at which point you'll be able to use the micro
instances with the official Fedora AMIs.

Does that makes sense?  The error message you got gave this answer, but was
cryptic - and we can't really get in the business of helping construct
ec2-run-instances commands, and interpreting the results - that's a bit
outside the scope of the group, I'd think (you'd have the same result if you
were running that command on a solaris workstation, to build an ubuntu
instances; it's not Fedora on the Cloud-related). You should try euca2ools
anyway, works better ;)
