If I read that correctly it states that I should see a F16 kernel loaded 
when I start the F17 upgrade from GRUB.  That's not the case for me.  If 
this isn't a correct assessment let me know.

So far, I've checked the LVM groups after I get that dialog box from a 
second terminal and all of them are clean. So I don't get the problem. 
And it's incredibly annoying.
