Description of problem: When installing the 3.1 rc2 from koji the error in the error in the summary appears... Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing : kernel-devel-3.1.0-0.rc2.git0.1.fc16.x86_64 1/2 Installing : kernel-3.1.0-0.rc2.git0.1.fc16.x86_64 2/2 grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.1.0-0.rc2.git0.1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Atleast once Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the kernels from koji 2. run yum install $kernel and kernel-devel 3. Actual results: The error in the summary Expected results: No error et al... Additional info:
Note that there is no menu entry in grub2 for the 3.1 rc2 kernel.
What version of grubby do you have installed?
Also, do you have both grub and grub2 installed?
I don't see this at all on a freshly installed and updated F16 kvm guest. The 3.1 rc2 kernel installs just fine and /boot/grub2/grub.cfg has a menu entry.
Removing the kernel and reinstalling it triggers it again... Steps to duplicate... [root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep grub grubby-8.1-1.fc16.x86_64 grub2-1.99-0.2.fc16.x86_64 [root@localhost ~]# yum install kernel-devel-3.1.0-0.rc2.git0.1.fc16.x86_64.rpm kernel-3.1.0-0.rc2.git0.1.fc16.x86_64.rpm

Can you attach your grub2.cfg from before and after the failed run?
There was no difference in the grub2 file once that was clear I dug a little deeper couple of rpm commands later revealed missing directories incorrect file permissions and what not ( probably bit by the rpm bug ) so I just skipped few steps ahead wiped the laptop did a new fresh install from network voila no problem, kernel updated cleanly hence unable to duplicate thus this can be closed as a NOTABUG. You might want to add if then else file permission check to rule that stuff out
