Hello,

Today installed F17-TC5 from DVD, and have F16(upgraded from F15) and LMDE
pre-installed. The menu entries in grub2 seem to be showing some anomalous
behaviour:

1) The main grub2 menu shows F17, F16 and LMDE along with their respective
advanced options list item. An 'e' on F16 list item reveals the kernel to
be 3.3.2-1 (have three kernels installed for F16: 3.3.4-3, 3.3.2-6 and
3.3.2-1). The oldest kernel is being shown in the main grub menu, as
against the latest kernel.

2) Under advanced options for F16, three list items are being shown, all
bearing the same name "Fedora Linux 16 (Verne)". No kernel is mentioned.
The advanced options for F17 and LMDE shows menu entries with kernel
versions.

3) An 'e' on each item in Advanced options menu of F16 reveals a reversed
ordering of kernels, the first one being 3.3.2-1, next is 3.3.2-6 and third
being 3.3.4-3.

The grub2 version is:
$ rpm -qa | grep grub
grub2-2.0-0.25.beta4.fc17.i686
