Again, I'd suggest uninstalling the most recent kernel, and reinstalling it, in order to regenerate the initrd, and the grub menu item for it, afresh.
More info, now that I've had the time to play with my laptop. First, the kernel in question is 3.1.2-1.fc16.i686.PAE. Second, /etc/grub.conf is simply a link to the file in /boot/grub and third, /boot/grub2/grub.cfg was a zero byte file. Simply running grub2-mkconfig streamed the new file to stdout; checking, I needed to add the switch -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to have it write the new file out. Alas, rebooting to the new kernel didn't work. Aside from uninstall/reinstall, are there any other suggestions?
