Need help building an Slackware AMI for AWS

Hello guys,

Can any one point me in the right direction to build Slackware AMI with custom kernel if you have experience please give me a short tutorial. HVM and PV will work so any help would be helpful

Have a great day

What happens when you try
http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:cloud:aws_ec2
? That is from a web-search of: build "slackware" kernel for ami|aws|ec2
Or this 'cookbook' here on LQ? (6th result from that search)

Let us know precise&complete details of what you tried, and what happened. Best wishes!

I have tried to adapt the techniques they followed but As I'm trying to build an HVM AMI it didn't help a lot i tried to import .ova slackware images from Virtual box using AWS cli tools with little to no success

Again got to end of the road.
