I also had problems doing an upgrade from F16 to F17 with old kernels 
laying around. I though it was because I was using grub2+UEFI so the 
installer couldn't find the grub.conf file. I hand-edited, and haven't 
had any problems, since, except, I expect the first Kernel upgrade that 
comes along will also not find my grub.conf.

I've probably completely setup my boot loader wrongly, but I suppose 
that a matter for a separate thread.
