From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux) Description of problem: Installed kernel-2.4.18-27.8.0.i686.rpm on a system which uses LILO as the boot loader. The message grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template was reported. No entry was added to /etc/lilo.conf for the new kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.18-27.8.0.i686.rpm How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Additional info: Added entry in lilo.conf myself and it booted OK, so the only problem seems to be the failure to set up lilo.conf. Kernel is from your security advisory RHSA-2003:098
