My Xen VM on the EC2, choosing right AKI

I'm trying to move my Xen domU (guest VM) to the EC2.

On my machine I have a Xen (dom0 and several domUs).

However, when I boot a guest VM, I use a kernel image from dom0 (in the .cfg file lines kernel=/...; initrd=/...). That means, my kernel image is not on the same disk that I use for VM.

So far so good.

Now, I would like to move my guest VM to the EC2.

I adjusted my /etc/fstab (bundle, upload, register, run) and for the kernel image (aki) I used the default one. Of course, my VM could not be started.

I tried several others (aki) and the same thing.

I assume that the problem 开发者_运维知识库is in my kernel image location?

I read somewhere that on the EC2 I can use my own custom kernel. So I download 2.6.35.4 (I'm running 2.6.26).

Compiled it, bundled it ... (I followed http://ec2-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/user_specified_kernels.pdf).

However, I still cannot boot my own image.

I have no problems to run an existing AMI (community).

The problem is to run my own VM (I have too much of setup to do it from vanilla AMI). Is this possible at all (I'm new in the EC2)?

Did I miss something?

Are there some guidelines/tutorials?

I'm running Debian Lenny (guest machine as well as base).
