Reading boot.readme on the DVD I saw :

                                                     Q: Kernel upgrade break my tuned bootloader settings, I want edit it manually.

A: set LOADER_TYPE=“none” in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader. Hint is used /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd symlinks as files which is already point to actual kernel. WARNING after kernel upgrade you must update also configuration manually, otherwise you cannot boot.

The Perl Bootloader won’t touch (nor mess up) your Grub menu whenever it needs be rewritten (for example after a kernel update) … among other things.
Use this only if you know what you are doing (and what you’ll have to do by yourself).
