I don't have an install to look at at the moment but I'm not surprised
that (assuming that F17's the "last distro installed") all your
entries are called "F17..." given that you have the same 4GB "/boot"
for all your distros. I don't have copies of "10_linux",
"grub2-mkconfig", and "grub2-mkconfig_lib" (or maybe it's not renamed
in Fedora and is "grub-mkconfig_lib") but I suspect that it's not only
the "menuentry" titles that are the same in "grub.cfg" but that the
"root=" values on the "linux" lines are all the same too and not
pointing to the slackware "/" for the slackware kernels and the ubuntu
"/" for the ubuntu kernels. Maybe you can combine the logic of
"10_linux" and "30_os=prober" for grub2-mkconfig to do what you'd like
it to do.
