Getting the kernel ID and ram disk ID from aws instance or ami

I have an aws instance and if I look at it from the console or use the aws describe command, there doesn't seem to be a valid kernel ID or ram disk ID. Looking at the ami I used to create the instance results in the same thing.

How can I find out what the kernel ID and ram disk IDs are? I am trying to make a new ami from a volume and it seems like the default kernel ID and ram disk ID don't work and need to know the actual values for my running instance.

Kernel ID and Ramdisk ID properties are only applicable to Linux AMI images. Maybe this can help you to get your answer : [+] https://forums.aws.amazon.com/message.jspa?messageID=289146

AWS would not recommend that you play around with kernel images until you have read the following documentation http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/UserProvidedkernels.html

Also it has been suggest that you test on non production systems so as not to impact your business.
