Dear Tom H.
I must apologize, I do not know where to find the grub2.conf file?
Sincerely yours, Rob G. Healey

I've seen that as well - in my case it always shows "Loading Fedora (3.0.0-3.fc16.x86_64)" (which was probably my original installed kernel,
the
install was from RC1). It boots into the correct kernel regardless.
That must be the result of grubby duplicating a menuentry stanza when a new kernel's installed because the stanzas have "echo ..." statements that are probably not being updated when grubby creates a new entry.
Could you post your grub.cfg?

It's "/etc/grub2.cfg" or "/boot/grub2/grub.cfg" - the first is a symlink to the second.
I've just installed F16 KDE from the Live CD and the "echo 'Loading...'" was updated correctly after a "yum update".
