I see that you installed a kernel, that you use the default partitioning,
and that you dual-boot MSWindows.

I had a mysterious problem on my dual-booted machine after installing a
kernel, where Grub could not find stage 2.  It turns out that my system had
been a hostage to fortune for a long time, as I had made a copy of the
/boot partition's bootsector to a file to use from MSWindow's NTLDR's
boot.ini, and had not updated that file after an upgrade (and a new grub
install).  If you're booting directly from grub without using NTLDR, this
should not be your problem.

I do not do that. Grub chainloads to NTLDR, per Anaconda's default setup
