similar to: grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template

When installing kernel-2.6.18-128.el5 in a guest with kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.el5xen already installed, and 'root=LABEL=/' on the kernel command line, grubby fails to install a grub entry for the new kernel. It only fails when run under libguestfs. Installing in the original Xen guest works fine. The underlying cause appears to be related to blkid, although I haven't managed to pin it

I am looking at using grubby. My command is: grubby --grub --title "CentOS (2.6.32.60)" --add-kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.60 --initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.32.60.img --args="ro root=LABEL=/ noapic" --make-default my etc/grub.conf file after running the command is: title CentOS (2.6.32.60) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.60 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet noapic initrd

I wonder if there would be anyone who would be willing to add extlinux support to RedHat's grubby program. From the looks of it, they already have grub, lilo, zipl, elilo, yaboot, and silo support, so I can't imagine it's that complex. -hpa

I do it on several systems.

to convert hvm to pv guest, I have followed the direction( link<http://pastebin.com/f6a5022bf>) in Xen-Users Common Questions Guide. It says the first step is "install kernel-xen with correct initrd" After "yum install kernel-xen" was executed, following errors were showed: WARNING: No module xen_vbd found for kernel 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5xen, continuing anyway grubby
