Why can't packer create HVM AMI for linux?

I'm guessing packer is using outdated boto libraries or something?

==> amazon-ebs: Error launching source instance: Non-Windows instances with a virtualization type of 'hvm' are currently not supported for this instance type. (InvalidParameterCombination)

It's probably because you're using an instance type that doesn't support hvm.

See this table:
