I know it's nothing serious but after installing/removing new kernel
with yum my boot menu is totally messed up.

What I mean here is that after clean install of Fedora (17/18) or after
running grub2-mkconfig there are only two "top level" items in grub menu:

1. Fedora
2. Advanced options for Fedora

I really like to have only those two items, but every kernel
installation adds new items to the menu related to new kernels. Is it a
bug or is it just some inconsistency? Why grub2-mkconfig makes order
again but simple yum upgrade/distro-sync messes things? How can I fix
permanently?
because yum updates are using grubby as all the years

before and i am thankful because i hate the "advenced options"
menu and grub2-mkconfig is buggy like hell: try to set
a grub-password on a remote machine and be happy that it
requests a password even on a untouched boot because
grub2-mkconfig is missing the "--unrestricted" in the
grub-config




Thanks, it explains why shit happens but I think it should be patched or configured somewhere.
It's user's choice how he wants his boot menu to be organized. I prefer to have only the latest kernel on the list especially in multi boot environment where each OS adds few cents to the menu. Then I have this advanced submenu in case of special boot requirements with more installed and kept for safety kernels.

I totally don't know about setting up and using grub password because this kid of security method is IMHO outdated comparing to disk encryption.
