Hi Olivier,
actually, it is now possible to run user-provided kernels on the Amazon EC2, by
booting them via PVGRUB as explained in the following URL.
http://aws.amazon.com/articles/3967
PVGRUB reads /boot/grub/menu.lst, and I just saw that grub2 contains
/usr/lib/grub-legacy/update-grub, which opens a way to keep this file up to
date when kernels are updated, via a kernel hook.
Have a nice day,
