Comment 1 Andre Robatino 2011-12-17 14:36:26 EST 
Until the new grubby is available, the following works for me to generate and use the new initramfs file in /boot. (I had to read some to figure out how, adjust the dracut line for desired kernel version.)

# cd /boot
# dracut initramfs-3.2.0-0.rc5.git3.1.fc17.x86_64.img 3.2.0-0.rc5.git3.1.fc17.x86_64
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Comment 2 Bruno Wolff III 2011-12-17 14:49:12 EST 
The build failed.

8.5 added a new test as well as the change to not use a hard coded path for dracut.
The new test is failing which is preventing the build.
I ran test.sh with the following removed and to confirm the new test was the one that is failing:
grub2Test grub2.1 remove/g2-1.4 --remove-kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64 \
    --boot-filesystem=/boot/
Comment 3 Bruno Wolff III 2011-12-17 15:34:42 EST 
It looks like the test output has "Linux" in two places it should have "Fedora". I don't know if that output change is rawhide specific though.
Comment 4 Andre Robatino 2011-12-17 18:43:31 EST 
Reopening until there is an actual completed grubby build ( http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=279194 wasn't it).

Comment 6 Andre Robatino 2011-12-19 18:44:30 EST 
I see a successful grubby-8.6-1.fc17 build http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=279336 - should this be closed now?
Comment 7 Bruno Wolff III 2011-12-19 19:16:36 EST 
I tested the updated grubby and it built an initramfs image, so I am going to close this.
As a side note, I noticed that the update for grubby doesn't seemed to have been pushed to the upstream grubby repo which is still at 8.5 instead of 8.6.

/boot/grub2/grub.cfg after reinstalling the newest kernel

I tested it by updating grubby, rebooting into an older kernel and reinstalling kernel-3.2.0-0.rc6.git0.1.fc17.x86_64. It works, but there are now 2 grub2 entries for the newest kernel.
Comment 9 Andre Robatino 2011-12-19 19:57:16 EST 
I was able to reproduce the same issue on F16 so it's not new. Filed bug 769119.
