Really great stuff, Colin, especially the support = for m1.small instances! Just two questions if I may, with regards to the m1.small AMI in = particular:- There's a folder ec2-bits in the root directory, which contains a bunch = of patches. =46rom your blog post I gather that they will not (much = longer) be required if one was to build their own kernel? On the same subject: The kernel running in that AMI is apparently = i386/XENHVM: FreeBSD ip-10-30-30-11 9.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE #0: Mon Jan 16 = 18:25:55 UTC 2012 = root@ip-10-17-42-118:/usr/obj/i386.i386/usr/src/sys/XENHVM i386 The csup'ed source tree does not contain such configuration. It does for = amd64. And there's a XEN configuration for i386. But no XENHVM = configuration for i386. # find /usr/src/sys -name 'XEN*' /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/XENHVM /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/XEN The AMI you provided runs just fine, but there'll be a time when an = update may be required... :) Thanks again!=20 Cheers C.
