grub2-mkconfig will make everything for you (so I'm lazy, so shoot me....  :-)   ) as well as making safe mode entries as well.  I
find it interesting that when I install a new kernel and grubby runs to make the kernel entry for grub.cfg I *don't* get any safe
mode boot up entry for that kernel.  No real big deal but I kind of like having those entries.
