I apologize, but i'm new user from linux world. Exactly i don't know how obtain a file bug report. I know only what i've seen on my screen when i've restarted my PC after the last kernel upgrade.
Are installed GRUB and GRUB2. On screen during start up, is a normaly presents 3 options by boot loader config. the 1st and the 2nd are the normal GRUB, the 3rd is for GRUB2.
The third entry is added by installed grub2 package. It's intended for user to test grub2 running without actually installing them. You still use grub not grub2.
Well, when i've clicked on the 3rd option, on the GRUB2 screen, i've seen that the option 1 & 2 aren't refreshed how in GRUB line on boot loader config, remain the last configuration on screen and when i want to use 1 of 2 options, obviously does not start the system and appeared a command line where it says, " file not found".
Because your current bootloader is grub, during kernel update perl bootloader will only update the current config in use, that is grub's config. So grub2 is totally unaffected and you need update it manually.
There's a similar bug report to this issue.

Andreas, how do you think we remove this feature? We can't call grub2-mkconfig for user in bnc#763578's case because it would lead regression to this bug:

And this keep people think about this is a bug if we can't offer a sane grub2 config for them to work. :(
What about enhancing /etc/sysconfig/bootloader to accept a list of bootloaders? Or allow a manual invocation of perl-bootloader with an option like -- grub or --grub2 to write the specific configuration? But IMO this is a transition problem: People don't trust grub2, want to play with it - and thus install them beside each other. Perhaps it's enough to document this scenario a bit more?
