After the new kernel has been installed (whith the above grubby message) I can make a new /boot/grub2/grub.cfg with grub2-mkconfig, and this grub.cfg will then contain an entry for the added kernel (this is a workaround). I started seeing this problem with the past few kernel updates. I'm using rawhide nodebug kernels with f18 though - so I have more frequent kernel updates. [ And it started a few kernels ago] A workarround that involves me not doing an extra thing after a kernel update would be good. I think this is related to the util-linux problems. See bug 902512 for details. Downgrading to util-linux-2.22.1-2.1.fc18 fixes this issue for me. Thanks! I had packages installed from f18-updates-testing and had: rpm -q util-linux --last util-linux-2.22.2-4.fc18.x86_64 Fri 08 Feb 2013 04:02:00 PM CST Downgraded util-linux with: yum --enablerepo=*-testing downgrade util-linux libuuid libuuid-devel libmount libblkid Removed: libblkid.x86_64 0:2.22.2-4.fc18 libmount.x86_64 0:2.22.2-4.fc18 libuuid.i686 0:2.22.2-4.fc18 libuuid.x86_64 0:2.22.2-4.fc18 libuuid-devel.x86_64 0:2.22.2-4.fc18 util-linux.x86_64 0:2.22.2-4.fc18 Installed: libblkid.x86_64 0:2.22.2-3.fc18 libmount.x86_64 0:2.22.2-3.fc18 libuuid.i686 0:2.22.2-3.fc18 libuuid.x86_64 0:2.22.2-3.fc18 libuuid-devel.x86_64 0:2.22.2-3.fc18 util-linux.x86_64 0:2.22.2-3.fc18 And now I don't see the error with a kernel install. [and /etc/grub2.conf appears to be updated correctly] *** Bug 912968 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 913227 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** OK, then I'm 99% sure this is a duplicate of bug 902512. As you can see from the comments on that bug there is now an update that is being submitted to fix the issue. This does appear to be that issue. For future reference, you can re-run the invoked grubby command with "--debug" and it'll tell you what's gone wrong with each stanza of the config file in question. As of grubby-8.22-2 , it'll also write the details of which stanza it chooses as the template (and why) to /var/log/grubby. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 902512 *** util-linux-2.22.2-6 does fix the problem. [kernel update after installing util-linux-2.22.2-6 goes through without error - and updates /etc/grub2.cfg correctly] *** Bug 914735 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
Created attachment 693875 [details] /boot/grub2/grub.cfg which will not be updated Description of problem: installing some kernel (in my case: kernel-3.7.5-201.fc18.x86_64) generates a grubby error message: *grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template* The kernel will be correctly installed, but it does not appear in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. Even if remaking /boot/grub2/grub.cfg with "sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" and then trying to install the kernel does not help. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grubby-8.22-1.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.sudo yum install <some kernel.rpm> or sudo rpm -i <some kernel.rpm> 2. 3. Actual results: Kernel is installed, but /boot/grub2/grub2.cfg is not updated Expected results: /boot/grub2/grub2.cfg is updated and contains an entry for the new installed kernel Additional info:
