View Full Version : Failure updating grub config

This is NOT a F11 regression -- rather something I've been getting throughout F10.

Basically the automatic grub config when yum installs a new kernel is not working, meaning that I have to edit this manually.

The errors look like
Installing : kernel 48/178
grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
Installing : kernel-PAE 49/178
grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template


I believe "grubby" is responsible for this, but it's not clear where it get's this "template" from.
Is it just the existing menu.lst file, or are more files involved?

I think my sym link is ok
sh-4.0# ls -la menu.lst
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2008-11-06 20:04 menu.lst -> ./grub.conf

My current menu.lst is
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/rootlv
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda

This is something that you should report to Bugzilla.

Thanks. Checked and it's already open here -> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=124246 so have added comments to the bug.

That was originally opened in Fedora Core 1.....
