How to recreate a working AMI from recovery snapshot after Aug 8 outage?

Solution 1:

I ran into the same problem when trying to duplicate a machine.

The problem turned out to be the kernel. Both when creating the AMI and the instance I selected default for the kernel image.

To resolve the problem, I recreated the AMI using the same kernel image as the original instance.

Solution 2:

Could you try the following command (note -f option instead of --force): sudo fsck -f /dev/xvdg

Hope this helps. Fred
