I have to get an old image from a physical ubuntu (dapper) box into AWS. The software stack and applications are not exactly contemporary so I have tried to do a P2V to AWS
dd'd the /dev/sda volume ok Mounted it on another ubuntu AWS instance to fix up ssh keys, fstab, networking etc
but now it won't boot ( not that I am surprised ) says:
Tpmfront:Error Unable to read device/vtpm/0/backend-id during tpmfront initialization! error = ENOENT Tpmfront:Info Shutting down tpmfront
xc: error: panic: xc_dom_bzimageloader.c:655:
xc_dom_probe_bzimage_kernel: boot protocol too old (0204): Invalid kernel xc: error: panic:
xc_dom_core.c:621: xc_dom_find_loader: no loader found: Invalid kernel
How do I change the kernel (manually) to a more AWS friendly version?

One option is to get working in another virtual environment like VMWare / VirtualBox / etc and upgrade the kernel and test it where you have more control and have access to the various upgrade tools in the distribution itself. Then move it to EC2. – Brian – 2013-11-02T13:25:29.857
