grub2 mystery

I have a large number of entries in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg under Fedora-17, eg
-------------------------------------
        menuentry 'Fedora Linux, with Linux 3.3.2-6.fc16.i686' --class 
fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 
'gnulinux-3.3.2-6.fc16.i686-advanced-185af560-81d0-46b8-acf0-9ab09e7cd0e2' {
                load_video
                set gfxpayload=keep
                insmod gzio
                insmod part_msdos
                insmod ext2
                set root='hd0,msdos2'
                if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
                  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-
bios=hd0,msdos2 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos2 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos2 --
hint='hd0,msdos2'  ce1365ea-11ec-49e1-85d9-f25a292c9274
                else
                  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 
ce1365ea-11ec-49e1-85d9-f25a292c9274
                fi
                echo    'Loading Linux 3.3.2-6.fc16.i686 ...'
                linux   /vmlinuz-3.3.2-6.fc16.i686 
root=UUID=185af560-81d0-46b8-acf0-9ab09e7cd0e2 ro rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 
SYSFONT=True  KEYTABLE=uk rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rhgb quiet
                echo    'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
                initrd  /initramfs-3.3.2-6.fc16.i686.img
        }
-------------------------------------

However, these do not appear in the list I get when booting,
even though I have said "sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg"
several times.

Is there something further I should do?
I've run "sudo os-prober" but this just adds one old Fedora-16 kernel.
