Any ideas on this? I have a RedHat 8.0 server on very good SuperMicro hardware using an Adaptec/DPT hardware RAID as the boot device and GRUB as the boot loader. For some reason kernel installs do NOT automatically write entries into /etc/grub.conf So I figured grub was broken and did an upgrade install on it to insure all files were there and then installed a kernel file. I get a "grubby" error about no suitable template found. I've searched newsgroups and other places some to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template

any idea?

Grubby always grumbled about updating lilo.conf, especially when lilo.conf had references to "other" operating systems.

Never once has grubby complained about grub.conf, whether dualboot or plain lniux.
