ah hello. i got this message too. grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template when upgradeing the kernel 2.4.18-14 to 2.4.18-24.8.0 the rpm gave this error. however, after the rpm upgrade i was able to boot to the new kernal that was created in /boot. i wonder if anyone knows whether thisis really a fatle error as rpm reports it to be.

Peters [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 1 March 2003 11:49 PM To: Red Hat List Subject: grubby complains Howdy- I am maintaining a kernel for the A7N8X (nforce2) boards with Red Hat Linux. With kernel 2.4.21pre5 I decided to try and have my kernel rpm add the kernel to the boot loader automagically, following the example in the Red Hat kernel rpm spec file. I use lilo, and it does not seem to work - grubby complains: grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template The kernel is not added to lilo. It does seem to properly add it to a grub.conf file, though. If I install a Red Hat kernel, lilo gets properly updated. What the hell is going on? Here is my %post section of the rpm spec file: %post if [ `grep -c "i810_audio" /etc/rc.local` -eq 0 ]; then echo "/sbin/modprobe i810_audio" >> /etc/rc.local fi cd /boot ln -sf module-info-%{patchversion} module-info ln -sf System.map-%{patchversion} System.map ln -sf vmlinuz-%{patchversion} vmlinuz [ -x /usr/sbin/module_upgrade ] && /usr/sbin/module_upgrade [ -x /sbin/mkkerneldoth ] && /sbin/mkkerneldoth if [ -x /sbin/new-kernel-pkg ]; then /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install %{patchversion} fi The complete spec file is attached. -- Michael A.
