There are at least two bugs that sum the confusion and remains in F17:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=755272
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768106
In short: kernel install adds option to grub.cfg using grubby, while
grub2-mkconfig generates a different menuentries.
Why, if the boot loader is grub2, the menuentry is not generated at
kernel install the same way as when generated by grub2-mkconfig?
The only reason I know is, that "people tend to modify grub.cfg manually",
but with grub2 this is plain wrong anyway. Why do we support this messy
setup then?
