What version? Current is 2.06-45.fc36 and there are a few complaints.

dnf downgrade will get you the -29 version which is a ways back, but also easy and will get you working. But to avoid it getting updated and breaking again in the near future you'll need to add an exclude in the dnf.conf (man dnf.conf) for "grub2-*"

Set a reminder though, you'll eventually want to update it and it might even prevent a system upgrade from getting a new version (or even failing, I'm not really sure).

An alternative is to:
rpm -qa | grep grub2

That'll get you a list of all the grub2 packages you'lll need to download from here:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1977609

That's the -42 version which should work. Then you have the packages locally and you can just put them in a directory and if you do an update that steps on this version again, you can just cd to that dir and do "dnf downgrade *rpm" and it'll use the local rpm files.

If you have a Fedora account or RGBZ account you can add yourself to the bug.
