Is anyone seeing what I am?

1) Do a rawhide update that updates the kernel
2) grubby error occurs:
grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
3) can't reboot to the new kernel because the grub.conf was not edited to add the new kernel stanza,
4) have to edit in the new kernel stanza by hand into the grub.conf file.

Hi...
I have same problem, the new kernel is not in the grub.conf.
I do an update in console and I have this error message:
Lancement de rpm_check_debug
Lancement de la transaction de test

I update the grub.conf by hand and add the new kernel, but anyway the 2.6.31 kernel won't boot with my laptop (I think it is a problem with akmod-nvidia, who don't work with this kernel, but with 2.6.30 kernel there is no problem...)

There was an update to grubby in F11 today (grubby-6.0.87-1.fc11.x86_64), I'm guessing when/if that makes it to rawhide that will fix this.

Yeah, it was a bug, I shouldve filed it a few days ago, but yeah. It's prolly fixed.
