menuentry 'CentOS Linux (3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core)' --class centos --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --unrestricted $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64-advanced-e138508e-48ed-4b19-9bcc-446bbfa2da86' {
menuentry 'CentOS Linux (0-rescue-a962980d35964ca6aa2a4d23e8f02266) 7 (Core)' --class centos --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --unrestricted $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-0-rescue-a962980d35964ca6aa2a4d23e8f02266-advanced-e138508e-48ed-4b19-9bcc-446bbfa2da86' {
