## Running public Arch AMIs

### AMI Images from Uplink Labs

### Other AMIs

Verified working public arch linux AMIs are below

    AMI          Store Build   Release     Kernel Last verified
    ami-07be766e  EBS  64 bit  2011-04-15  3.0+   2012-01-14
    ami-19be7670  EBS  64 bit  2011-11-18  3.0+   2012-01-14
    ami-26e8144f  EBS  32 bit  2011-04-15  2.6    2012-01-14
    ami-38e81451  EBS  32 bit  2011-04-15  2.6    2012-01-14

These AMIs ship with Arch linux kernels that are booted by PV-GRUB.

(2012-01-14) The 64 bit AMIs consistently failed to boot on Micro instances in us-east-1a and us-east-1d. In us-east-1b and us-east-1c the AMIs occasionally fail to boot. Stop and start the instance to reassign it a random machine in these cases.

This may be an issue with Amazon running different versions of Xen on different machines / older availability zones.

## Building Arch AMIs

linux-ec2AUR in AUR compiles the Arch linux kernel for AWS with Xen modules enabled and the XSAVE patch applied.
