The one generated by manually running grub2-mkconfig creates a Xen submenu with all the various kernels under it, whereas after installing a new kernel, the one generated has all the xen + kernels in the top level menu. >> grub2 creates a >> set of entries for each of xen-4.1.1.gz and its two symbolic links >> xen-4.1.gz and xen.gz which is a bit untidy, so perhaps it makes >> sense to remove the symbolic links. I've submitted a bug with a patch to make the /etc/20_linux_xen helper script ignore the symbol files and symbolic links, if there's no need for the symbolic links the patch could be even simpler. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738085
