I vaguely recall that Fedora 16 DVD upgrades and preupgrade did step on the old GRUB and replaced it with a new one, and called grub-mkconfig to make a grub.cfg. So I'm going to guess that's what's happened. And the OP thinks GRUB detects installed systems dynamically rather than depending on a premade configuration file.
