+Newbies, for the most part, don't often run multiple distros on the same 
+machine, and even less often have to resort to booting old kernels.  
+When Mageia updates a kernel, it creates new entries with the full 
+kernel name for the version it is replacing, but alters the existing 
+entry for the replaced kernel in place.  So, as the initial install gave 
+you a "Mageia" title entry for the installed system, this will always be 
+set to the last installed kernel.  Also, Windows partitions are 
+identified as such in the Mageia-generated titles.

+I think you'd better provide a use case that demonstrates the problem 
+you're trying to solve.
