gotten to building a 3.4 kernel yet, on my to-do list for the weekend.
I always have a similar problem when the kernel on an old i686 laptop is
upgraded, but never have it on my other machine, which has x86_64
hardware. I can always correct it by running grub2-mkconfig to generate
a new /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file. This has been reported in:

There are other odd differences in the startup menu.

I have made a comment for 822792 that when yum update
had brought in kernel-3.3.5-2.fc16.i686, it created a bad
uuid for the search line in grub.cfg, but left the Linux line
with the correct uuid. So, I was never able to boot
kernel-3.3.5-2.fc16.i686 and it had not occurred to me to
examine grub.cfg at that time. Ditto after yum update
brought in kernel-3.3.6-3.fc16.i686, the same thing happened
and I had not looked at grub.cfg. I only decided to examine it
closely yesterday (05/27) just after midnight. I posted my
finding in bugzilla.
So, I believe installing kernel-3.3.5-2.fc16.i686 mad the
bad uuid entry, and kernel-3.3.6-3.fc16.i686 made the mistake
of using the kernel-3.3.5-2 menu entry as a template, and made
the same erroneous entry (that's my guess).
Afcter I deleted both kernels (rpm -e) and ran yum update
which brought in kernel-3.3.6-3, I checked grub.cfg and
it had the correct uuid and I was able to boot it.
I would like to verify my guess re: kernel-3.3.5-2, but I cannot
find the rpm for it anywhere online.
