Installed smooth as silk! Thanks.

Tried boxgrinder help & boxgrinder --help ....argument error with too much output...a diagnostic dump of some kind...maybe while you are testing.

However, where do I find help on the commandset...can you give an appliance file for centos? I don't know much about rolling from start/minimal install especially for a vm....

Also, once the s3 plugin or ebs plugin is installed, does it create both types of storages automatically or does one have to create & attach ebs to the server before building the vm?

Thanks...appreciate all your help.

Sanjay.

  $ boxgrinder build jeos.appl -p vmware --platform-config type:personal thin_disk:true  # Build VMware image for VMware ...

  $ boxgrinder build jeos.appl -p vmware -d local                                        # Build VMware image for jeos.ap...

Usage:

  boxgrinder build [appliance definition file] [options]

Options:

Create an image from selected appliance definition for selected platform and deliver it using selected method.

So...will it

- Install from Centos base repo for version 5, with updates till date?

- Check gpg key before install?

- Install only the minimal base OS with yum, plus dependencies?

- How about pv-grub? I am told normal grub does not work in EC2....and some tinkering must be done with initrd & pvgrub?

Sanjay.

Although giving junk output, as above, bitgrinder seemed to be working, as info messages were coming, till it started to convert to EC2 image format when program exited due to some error. Terminal output is pasted below. CPU utilization of the 32 bit micro EC2 vm was at 100% during this process:

Ok Marek

I do a fresh install tomorrow.

Is the function that terminated the process...the fatal call below...that terminated the conversion....full output above...also due to messed gem installation?

I, [2011-02-02T14:04:27.138114 #17333]  INFO -- : Converting centos-5-minimal appliance image to EC2 format...

F, [2011-02-02T14:24:45.558556 #17333] FATAL -- : guestfs_ls: call launch before using this function

(in guestfish, don't forget to use the 'run' command) (Guestfs::Error)

I'll reinstall tomorrow. Please accept my thanks. I have encountered this fast a support from a developer very few times in my life.

Best wishes.

Sanjay.

Checking of gpg key...I meant the process will verify the centos gpg key on packages? If its done with yum, it should be automatic...but since I did not know...I thought I'd better ask.

So centos will work as is? without pv-grub? have you tested this? If not can you advise/point out link to what to do post vm generation?
