[Thincrust-devel] Problem creating ec2Appliance

[Cameron Ross]

Hi,

I'm trying to create the ec2Appliance defined within the ace git repository
and I'm having two issues.


1) When I run appliance creator I get then following output:
...
grub> setup --stage2=/var/tmp/imgcreate-4i76sn/install_root/boot/grub/stage2
--prefix=/boot/grub  (hd0)
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
 Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... failed (this is not
fatal)
 Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,0)"... failed (this is not
fatal)
 Running "install
--stage2=/var/tmp/imgcreate-4i76sn/install_root/boot/grub/stage2
/boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) /boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/grub.conf "...
succeeded
Done.
grub> quit
Finished

Can I safely ignore the failures that are generated?


2) When I run ec2-creator I get the following error:
...
This filesystem will be automatically checked every 31 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first.  Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
error: cannot open Packages database in
/var/tmp/ec2-convert-u91eq0vl/var/lib/rpm
error: cannot open Packages database in
/var/tmp/ec2-convert-u91eq0vl/var/lib/rpm
Package(s): openssh-server not installed, exiting
Please install openssh-server and rerun ec2-converter
Or add --rpmcheck=no option
Conversion failed

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Cameron.
