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.
