installation of kernel fails in ec2 instance

Binary package hint: cloud-init

$ sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.35-12-virtual_2.6.35-12.17~pvops_i386.deb

The above is because /etc/kernel-img.conf has 'update-grub'.
This should somehow be modified to not insist on success of /usr/sbin/update-grub on ec2 (it will fail, as there is no /dev/sda).
