Description of problem: /boot/grub2/grub.cfg which will not be updated after install/update a newer kernel RPM or downgrade a older kernel version. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhel7.0: kernel-3.10.0-50.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 3/3 Steps to Reproduce: 1.My host kernel version is kernel-3.10.0-50.el7.x86_64. 2.Upgrade/install/downgrade a different kernel-3.10.0-55.el7.x86_64 version. Actual results: after step 2, /boot/grub2/grub.cfg which will not be updated after install/update/downgrade a kernel version, and there is a warning message prompt "grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template". Expected results: It should install/update/downgrade a kernel version successfully and the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg should be updated correctly. # rpm -ivh kernel-3.10.0-55.el7.x86_64.rpm Preparing... ################################# [100%] Updating / installing... 1:kernel-3.10.0-55.el7 ################################# [100%] grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template Additional info:

Hi pjones, Could you help see this issue and make a package to fix it as we always hit it and cann't usable the kernel at all after update the kernel. I update it to high priority as it very harmful to our OS. Please correct me if any mistake. Best Regards, sluo
Please attach /var/log/grubby .
(In reply to Peter Jones from comment #4) > Please attach /var/log/grubby . I did not meet the "grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template" issue any more with the currently usable OS tree. So i provide the /var/log/grubby log maybe not helpful for you. Maybe this issue is related to the specifically OS tree. # cat /var/log/grubby DBG: 27108: Mon Nov 18 23:24:51 2013: command line: --default-kernel DBG: Image entry succeeded: DBG: menuentry 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server, with Linux 3.10.0-48.el7.x86_64' --class red --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-3.10.0-48.el7.x86_64-advanced-f2af5b35-a422-433c-9a2a-11747bc18c95' { DBG: load_video DBG: set gfxpayload=keep DBG: insmod gzio DBG: insmod part_msdos DBG: insmod xfs DBG: set root='hd0,msdos1' DBG: if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then DBG: search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos1 --hint='hd0,msdos1' 837b659c-86c2-47d6-8875-29580736d2b5 DBG: else DBG: search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 837b659c-86c2-47d6-8875-29580736d2b5 DBG: fi DBG: linux /vmlinuz-3.10.0-48.el7.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/rhel-root ro rd.lvm.lv=rhel/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel/swap console=tty0 crashkernel=auto console=ttyS0,115200 vconsole.keymap=us vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8 DBG: initrd /initramfs-3.10.0-48.el7.x86_64.img DBG: } DBG: 2593: Fri Jan 10 03:24:55 2014: command line: --grub2 -c /boot/grub2/grub.cfg --add-kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-3.10.0-55.el7.x86_64 --copy-default --make-default --title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (3.10.0-55.el7.x86_64) 7.0 (Maipo) --args=root=/dev/mapper/rhel-root --remove-kernel=TITLE=Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (3.10.0-55.el7.x86_64) 7.0 (Maipo) DBG: Image entry succeeded: DBG: menuentry 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server, with Linux 3.10.0-48.el7.x86_64' --class red --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-3.10.0-48.el7.x86_64-advanced-f2af5b35-a422-433c-9a2a-11747bc18c95' { DBG: load_video DBG: set gfxpayload=keep DBG: insmod gzio DBG: insmod part_msdos DBG: insmod xfs DBG: set root='hd0,msdos1' DBG: if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then DBG: search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos1 --hint='hd0,msdos1' 837b659c-86c2-47d6-8875-29580736d2b5 DBG: else DBG: search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 837b659c-86c2-47d6-8875-29580736d2b5 DBG: fi DBG: linux /vmlinuz-3.10.0-48.el7.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/rhel-root ro rd.lvm.lv=rhel/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel/swap console=tty0 crashkernel=auto console=ttyS0,115200 vconsole.keymap=us vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 DBG: initrd /initramfs-3.10.0-48.el7.x86_64.img DBG: } DBG: 19639: Fri Jan 10 03:25:50 2014: command line: --grub2 -c /boot/grub2/grub.cfg --add-kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-0-rescue-990ea1616b6747b2b80319fb01d30d30 --initrd /boot/initramfs-0-rescue-990ea1616b6747b2b80319fb01d30d30.img --copy-default --title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.0 Rescue 990ea1616b6747b2b80319fb01d30d30 (3.10.0-55.el7.x86_64) --args=root=/dev/mapper/rhel-root --remove-kernel=TITLE=Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.0 Rescue 990ea1616b6747b2b80319fb01d30d30 (3.10.0-55.el7.x86_64) DBG: Image entry succeeded: DBG: menuentry 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (3.10.0-55.el7.x86_64) 7.0 (Maipo)' --class red --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-3.10.0-48.el7.x86_64-advanced-f2af5b35-a422-433c-9a2a-11747bc18c95' { DBG: load_video DBG: set gfxpayload=keep DBG: insmod gzio DBG: insmod part_msdos DBG: insmod xfs DBG: set root='hd0,msdos1' DBG: if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then DBG: search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos1 --hint='hd0,msdos1' 837b659c-86c2-47d6-8875-29580736d2b5 DBG: else DBG: search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 837b659c-86c2-47d6-8875-29580736d2b5 DBG: fi DBG: linux /vmlinuz-3.10.0-55.el7.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/rhel-root ro rd.lvm.lv=rhel/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel/swap console=tty0 crashkernel=auto console=ttyS0,115200 vconsole.keymap=us vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 DBG: initrd /initramfs-3.10.0-55.el7.x86_64.img DBG: } Best Regards, sluo
Alright, well if you can't reproduce it any more, and since all these log entries seem to be for successful usage, I'm going to close this. Please re-open with fresh logs if you encounter the problem again.
