Re: [MirageOS-devel] Problems booting Mirage on EC2



I believe it's coming fromÂhttps://github.com/mirage/mirage-bootvar-xen/blob/master/lib/bootvar.ml#L43 , since "Malformed boot parameter" (as seen in the output here https://gist.github.com/sgrove/dd47f8a7e34583b809f4#file-ec2_boot_console_output-L95, and passed by ec2 here https://gist.github.com/sgrove/dd47f8a7e34583b809f4#file-ec2_boot_console_output-L11) doesn't show up in Functoria. That said, I chatted a bit with Drup about this, and he mentioned that Functoria will run into the same issue, even if we can get past the bootvar-xen issue.

Is it perhaps possible to change the boot parameters for EC2 (I'll google as I have been doing in order to get this far, but perhaps someone knows already)? If not, what's the solution for handling this?

I've used a slightly tweaked/updated script from @yomimono to take care of provisioning the volumes/snapshots/amis/instances, and after some trial and error, it seems to be pretty dependable. I'm at pretty close to the last step, I suspect: When booting the image, OCaml bails out complaining about bad parameters. Any idea on what I might be doing wrong? Completely out of my element at this level.

Here is the console output log:

-----------------

This leads me to suspect this bug reading boot parameters reported by @talex5: https://github.com/mirage/mirage/issues/493 . As yet unresolved although a path forward is outlined; perhaps Drup can comment?

Any help much appreciated!
