I'm guessing it's the new grub2. I think I've seen another report of
problems installing new kernels after the grub2 update, but I don't see
any bug filed. Can someone file a bug on this, please?

pjones wasn't aware of the Fedora naming conventions for pre-release
packages, so he just called 2.00~beta2 '1.99-19'. Properly, it ought to
be versioned grub2-2.00-0.1.beta2.fc17. (Or possibly
grub2-2.00-0.1.~beta2.fc17, I really dunno what that tilde is for). We
will likely fix this up in a future build. The code is indeed
2.00~beta2, so '1.99-19' is a substantial jump from 1.99-18.
