Thanks. I find the patch to the grub-mkconfig_lib works fine.
version_find_latest ()
{
  #patched (whole work is done by sort!):
  echo $@ | tr ' ' '\n' | sort -Vr | head -1 | cat
#bad code! sorts wrong! 
#local a=""
 # for i in $@ ; do
  #  if version_test_gt "$i" "$a" ; then
   #   a="$i"
    #fi
  #done
  #echo "$a"
}

Didn't know if this was a fedora issue, or if grub handled this setup 
directly. Also, don't know if this is a fedora 16 only issue or any 
user. Haven't gone thru how the original or patch works.
