hello arch community,
arch is really great and i am trying to get it running on the amazons ec2 cloud plattform - it works but i have some trouble:
a)
out of the amazon provides 2.6.18 and 2.6.21 kernel which both do not boot arch properly (udev does not detect the harddisk)
b)
arch is only booting on ec2 with ubuntus aki-604c6714 / ari-6c4c6718 and this is equivalent to 2.6.31-300.3 (will be the next karmic kernel i think and still in beta ?). this kernel does not have "tun device" support compiled-in nor as module (found some tun file in 2.6.31-11-generic-pae, but this seems to be compiled with another kernel and does not load by modprobe ).
i have primarily followed the script of http://blog.mudy.info/2009/04/archlinux-ec2-public-ami/ (+ some custom tweaks) and the system boots, is running and seems stable, but i have no "tun" -> vpn support and this is actually a showstopper for me.
it would be ideal to get arch running on the out-of-the-box kernel 2.6.21 provided by amazon (this has "tun" support). otherwise i would try to find some other karmic kernel with tun-support.
would be great if you could give me some hint if it is possible at all to get arch running on 2.6.21.
here is the console output of the amazon instance:

I updated my image with ubuntu kernel 2.6.27 and 2.6.28. It seems working.
AMI id are ami-df2bc8b6 (i386) and ami-df2bc8b6 (x86_64).
It also includes module from ubuntu ppa, so I guess most kernel modules should be there.
