Temat: Re: [devuan-dev] Devuan Ascii on EC2
After digging into my memory banks, I think I got that kernel as an attempt
to come past that "bad kernel" gate of import-image, but that still didn't
work. Rather I needed to use import-snapshot, which doesn't seem to have
that gate. But it might require a raw image; I never tried anything else.

I don't remember where I got that kernel maybe a debian (?) or possibly I
compiled myself, but probably not. I obviously forgot it had non-standard
kernel. But as I remeber it now, the key was really to use import-snapshot
and not import-image. Perhaps it takes a vmdk. Otherwise you'll need to
convert to raw.
