Name        : grubby
Product     : Fedora 16
Version     : 8.3
Release     : 2.fc16
URL         : http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/grubby.git
Summary     : Command line tool for updating bootloader configs
Description :
grubby  is  a command line tool for updating and displaying information about
the configuration files for the grub, lilo, elilo (ia64),  yaboot (powerpc)
and zipl (s390) boot loaders. It is primarily designed to be used from scripts
which install new kernels and need to find information about the current boot
environment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update fixes the bug which caused the wrong kernel version to be displayed as "Loading..." at the start of the Fedora boot process. The bug was entirely cosmetic, but could lead to confusion. The "Loading..." line will be correct for kernels installed after this update; kernels already installed when you install this update will not be corrected.

Credit is due to Mads Kiilerich for the fix.
