I did run preupgrade to upgrade my Fedora 16(x64) to Fedora 17. And it seemed to work fine. So I got the new gimp 2.8, gcc 4.7.0 and so on. But the system keeps using the old kernel from fc16. Uname -a gives me:
Linux localhost.localdomain 3.3.6-3.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 16 21:43:01 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The system downloaded the new kernel, so I got
/boot/vmlinuz-3.3.7-1.fc17.x86_64
/boot/System.map-3.3.7-1.fc17.x86_64
/boot/initramfs-3.3.7-1.fc17.x86_64.img
/boot/config-3.3.7-1.fc17.x86_64
But the system keeps using the old kernel from fc16.
If i look at my /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file, it looks like this:

# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub

Anyone got a clue about why it still only references the fc16 kernel, and how I can upgrade it.
My system is using raid1 on 2 disks, but /boot is not using raid. Mount for /boot is:
/dev/sda2 on /boot type ext2 (rw,relatime,seclabel,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1)
And / (The only other filesystem I have) is mounted as
/dev/md0 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered)
