Comment 17 for bug 651370

Brandon,
 sorry about failing to get the command line changed in the ami i rebundled. I really thought I tested that it had the proper command line before posting here. The problem in my steps above was selecting "keep local version". I should have chosen "use maintainers version".
 Regarding simple changes to the s3 amis, the easiest thing to do (and actually what i would recommend for *non* simple changes) is to download the .tar.gz file from http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/maverick/ . extract it, mount it loop back, modify files (or chroot and modify files), uec-resize-image (the downloaded filesystem image is only 2G). then euca-bundle-image euca-publish-image...

  I also registered 'ami-aa42b6c3' and verified boot on a t1.micro and checked it has the command line. John is hoping to get rebuilt kernel images that would have these options in the config. He should point to them sometime soon.
