--- Comment #66 from Lars E. Pettersson <lars at homer.se> 2011-11-14 03:23:03 EST ---
Just did an update of Fedora 16 on a x86_64 machine and got the same message:

  Updating   : kernel-tools-3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64                           13/26 
  Installing : kernel-3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64                                 14/26 
grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
  Cleanup    : kernel-headers-3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64                         15/26 

(no further errors showed up)

This was the first kernel update on my Fedora 16 installation, updated from
kernel 3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64 to 3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64 using the following grub
packages:

# rpm -qa grub*
grub-efi-0.97-84.fc16.x86_64
grub2-1.99-12.fc16.x86_64
grubby-8.3-1.fc16.x86_64
#

And the following templates (verified OK with rpm -V)

# ll /etc/grub.d/
total 80
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 6709 Oct 27 03:19 00_header
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 5959 Oct 27 03:19 10_linux
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 5875 Oct 27 03:19 20_linux_xen
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 5960 Oct 27 03:19 30_os-prober

#

The only strange thing noted in /etc/grub2.cfg was the lack of the recovery
mode entry:

# grep menuentry /etc/grub2.cfg 
menuentry 'Fedora (3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64)' --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class
os {
menuentry 'Linux, with Linux 3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64' --class gnu-linux --class gnu
--class os {
menuentry 'Linux, with Linux 3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64 (recovery mode)' --class
gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Professional (on /dev/sda2)" --class windows
--class os {

(/etc/grub2.cfg will be attached)
