Bug Description

The Fedora tool 'grubby' creates grub.cfg menu entries using 'linux16' and 'initrd16' instead of the more common 'linux' and 'initrd'.

This causes /usr/lib/linux-boot-probes/mounted/40grub2 to ignore those entries. Detection falls back to 90fallback, which can't detect the kernel parameters used by Fedora (rhgb quiet), thus causing Fedora to boot in text mode when started by an Ubuntu-generated grub config.
