Description of problem: Installation of an older kernel causes grubby to generate a menu item like such menuentry 'Fedora (2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64)' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { load_video set gfxpayload=keep insmod gzio insmod part_gpt insmod ext2 set root='(hd0,gpt2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 1aff1091-9965-4c8d-9a57-12f0e36d1c98 echo 'Loading Fedora (3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.3.fc16.x86_64)' linux /vmlinuz-2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64 root=UUID=dec6864b-e480-4901-898d-0c02f4eb5db4 ro KEYTABLE=dvorak rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 quiet SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /initramfs-2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64.img } Specifically note that the echo lines are incorrect. This misleads the user into believing the wrong kernel is being booted. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install an older kernel (rpm -ivh --force kernel-older-version) 2. View grub menu Actual results: Wrong version in echo line Expected results: Correct version is listed.
