Description of problem: After upgrading from F15 to F16 beta my machine is unbootable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-16.22-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time. Same problem on both machines Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Bootable operating system. Expected results: Unbootable. Additional info: There is no new kernel entry in the grub config. # grep grub upgrade.log 12:05:49 Upgrading grubby-8.3-1.fc16.x86_64 grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template 12:27:09 Upgrading grub2-1.99-9.fc16.x86_64 12:36:22 Upgrading grub-efi-0.97-83.fc16.x86_64 grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template grubby: doing this would leave no kernel entries.

Might be a problem with grubby. I don't know what writes the template that is missing.
Which option did you choose at the bootloader upgrade screen: "new bootloader configuration" or "skip bootloader configuration"?
Please attach the full logs. Those errors from grubby aren't actually necessarily as fatal as they seem (you get the same errors when you do a yum upgrade from f15 to f16 and then update the kernel, but grub config actually gets updated correctly).
I didn't choose any bootloader option, it was an automated upgrade using preupgrade. Bug 741538 has logs from an install of another machine with the same problem.
ah. if you used preupgrade then this is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737731 . There's now an updated F15 build of preupgrade: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/preupgrade-1.1.10-1.fc15 which should have this fixed. Please re-test with that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 737731 ***
