F17 RC2 grub config

Admittedly I have an unusual setup: F17, F16, Ubuntu, Slackware, Vector, CentOs, Win7x86 and four hard drives But it is odd that after install F17RC2 the default grub entry is for F17 with the Slackware kernel -- Fedora, Ubuntu and Slackware user Linux counter #386175 -- test mailing list test@l
