The same happened after the update for the 3.1.4.1.fc16.x86_64. Grub entry now reads: echo 'Loading Fedora (3.1.2-1.fc16.x86_64)' Should read: echo 'Loading Fedora (3.1.4-1.fc16.x86_64)' The kernel update is calling "new-kernel-pkg" which in turn is using grubby to update the grub.cfg. Grubby takes the default menu entry as an template and updates it accordingly the new Kernel. Somewhere bellow this line [1], you can see that if the 'echo' line contains string 'Loading Linux', it is appropriately updated. However, yours line contains 'Loading Fedora', so it stays as it was. The only question which remains is where the menu entry with 'Loading Fedora' came from. Unfortunately I cannot find it to understand this issue completely :( Calling $ grub2-mkconfig, which was presumably used during installation to prepare default grub.cfg, returns the 'Loading Linux' string.

Diff of grub2.cfg after updating the system.
I was curious about this, so I tried again. I installed fedora 16 64b version from the DVD and kept the original grub2.cfg file. Then I updated all the packages and created a diff against the new grub2.cfg. Strangly enough, this time there were no typos. The 'Loading Fedora' string is still there though. Hope this helps. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 732654 *** |
Created attachment 536918 [details] grub.cfg opened in a terminal window. Nothing major, I installed the update for the 3.1.2-1.fc16.x86_64 kernel and noticed during the boot, when I selected the new kernel, grub said it was loading 3.1.1-2 instead of 3.1.2-1. I investigated and discovered a simple typo in the echo command that is issued in grub.cfg It reads: echo 'Loading Fedora (3.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64)' when it should read: echo 'Loading Fedora (3.1.2-1.fc16.x86_64)' I took a quick screen shot and attached it here.
