    grub has been switched to use BLS.  Check if you have files in
    /boot/loader/entries/.

That's interesting. First i've heard of BLS.
It would seem that runs into a known issue
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1652806
And the way tl;dr is "on BIOS systems you have to run 'grub2-install /dev/sdX'
Not installing grub, getting grub to recognize system entries.

If this is an old install, you might need to update the bootloader bits that are stored in the mbr. It might too old to support BLS. That's why if it's not an EFI system, you should run grub2-install to make sure it's up to date.
