Any idea??
This is part of the grub configuration file where you can see that the
first menu entry reports a previous kernel in the echo line (but older
kernel seems o.k.):


### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###

    insmod part_msdos

    set root='hd0,msdos3'
    if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then

I reported this already in F16:

https://bugzilla.redhat.co/show_bug.cgi?id=732654




added myself to the bug :-) . It seems still open for F18

Just as a side issue, this does not seem to be occurring in F17. Could 
it be a configuration issue, as the grub.cfg snippet you have provided 
in your mail indicates that your grub.cfg is created completely 
differently to an out of the box install of F17, in that you have 
multiple menuentry's, one for each kernel, whereas in F17 there is only 
a menu entry for the latest kernel, and all the other kernels are in 
submenuentry's under an Advanced Fedora Menuentry?

Steve
