SuSE's grub2-mkconfig finds only one of three kernels of fedora -- the oldest

I use triple boot with SuSE the main system and Fedora 17 and Ubuntu 12.04 riding along. Recently I upgraded to SuSE 12.2. While I still used the old GRUB legacy, all went well. Then I upgraded to SuSE's GRUB2 and when I now start Fedora the oldest of the three existing kernels will be booted.

Ubuntu has a similar problem, here I find in the GRUB2-submenu "Alternative options for Ubuntu" three times the same kernel in normal as wall as in rescue mode (i.e. six entries).

I (re?)-ran "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" to no avail. Any ideas?

Correction / Addendum: Fedora has a submenu too, but with only three entries (no failsafes). Oldest kernel is on top, newest the last.

So the task(s) would be

getting the newest kernels into the main menu
reversing the order of kernels in the submenus to get the newest first
adding failsafe modes for fedora

Any ideas where and by what that is controlled? Thanks in advance...
