Kernel and init.d files.
Both will be initiated in grup.conf file.
[root@localhost grub]# cat grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making
changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to
/boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda2
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda

timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
