f-16 Grub2 config. Problem -

[Bob Goodwin]

        .
        After changing /etc/default/grub [as part of my attempt to make
        a nice clean text boot display] to look as below:

        [root at box6 bobg]# cat /etc/default/grub
        GRUB_TIMEOUT=15
        GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Fedora"
        GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
        GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0  KEYTABLE=us
        SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8"

        I did the following as was suggested:

        [root at box6 bobg]# grub2-mkconfig  -o  /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

        Generating grub.cfg ...
        Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.1.7-1.fc16.x86_64
        Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-3.1.7-1.fc16.x86_64.img
        Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64
        Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64.img
           No volume groups found
        done

        And everything works pretty much the way I would like it to
        except that now I have to select the kernel version to boot else
        it boots to the older one.

        The grub screen shows them listed in the following order and
        defaults to  the third line 3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64 which I believe
        is not what it should do?

            3.1.7-1.fc16.x86_64
            3.1.7-1.fc16.x86_64 Recovery Mode
            3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64
            3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64 Recovery Mode

        Assuming that 3.1.7-1.fc16.x86_64 is the later version how do I
        fix that?

        The old grub was a lot less mysterious and easier to deal with.

        Bob
