Description of problem: Grub menu doesn't contain newest kernel after an upgrade. Things were working until I ran grub2-mkconfig manually to flush out a lot of old, stale entries from a partition I nuked. Is there some flag I triggered by mistake? grub2-mkconfig makes valid configs for me. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.10.0-0.rc7.git0.3.fc20.x86_64 (occurred with a custom-built variant of this version) kernel-3.11.0-0.rc0.git2.2.fc20.x86_64
FWIW, it properly updates on my netbook, also running rawhide.
This is still happening. The latest 3.12.0-0.rc0.git11.2.fc21 kernel did not update the grub.cfg. Is there some way to debug what's going wrong?
Hi Ben, you can see what the kernel rpms do by running something like: [root@fante ~]# rpm -q --scripts kernel-3.11.0-2.fc21.x86_64 postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): if [ `uname -i` == "x86_64" -o `uname -i` == "i386" ] && [ -f /etc/sysconfig/kernel ]; then /bin/sed -r -i -e 's/^DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-smp$/DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel/' /etc/sysconfig/kernel || exit $? fi preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): /bin/kernel-install remove 3.11.0-2.fc21.x86_64 /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-2.fc21.x86_64 || exit $? posttrans scriptlet (using /bin/sh): /bin/kernel-install add 3.11.0-2.fc21.x86_64 /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-2.fc21.x86_64 || exit $? So you're interested in the %postinstall and the %posttrans sections (especially the latter). /bin/kernel-install is a bash script, just add 'set -x' on the second line and you'll see the commands it is trying hth, Michele

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 20 development cycle. Changing version to '20'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora20
I am now seeing this: grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template grubby-8.28-1.fc20.x86_64
Seems to be fixed. Not sure what resolved it since grubby hasn't had an update.
