Hi Tim,
     I do the same thing whereby it doesn't matter whether I run sudo 
yum upgrade or sudo smart upgrade the results are the same, the output 
in menu.cfg is as I described. It seems that the structure I have is the 
standard structure built by grub2-mkconfig, which I have to run manually 
after a kernel upgrade, because on my system, in an out of the box 
install of F17, grubby which is what the kernel upgrade tries to run to 
update grub2, does not run under sudo, I get access denied.

regards,
Steve
