in previous configuration

If you used the preupgrade utility to upgrade from Fedora 14 or 15 to Fedora
16, the bootloader configuration may have been left in its previous state.
This was due to preupgrade not recognizing that anaconda cannot 'update' the
bootloader configuration in such an upgrade, due to the migration from grub
to grub2 that should occur as part of the upgrade. This would result either
in the system attempting to boot with a Fedora 14 kernel, or failing to boot
entirely (depending on whether the previously-installed kernel is still
present following the upgrade). 

This issue was fixed for Fedora 14 in the updated preupgrade-1.1.10-1.fc14
<https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-16047/preupgrade-1.1.10
-1.fc14>  package and for Fedora 15 in the updated preupgrade-1.1.10-1.fc15
<https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-14766/preupgrade-1.1.10
-1.fc15>  package. To ensure you do not encounter this issue, check that you
have at least this version of preupgrade installed before upgrading to
Fedora 16.
