OK, I see
By default, I was not using UEFI to boot.
It means that I used on the MBR if I understand correctly.
But because I did not make a grub2-install /dev/sda (not possible in F40!)
It has never been update (as I used to do).
Now, booting by using UEFI and choosing the disk sda, I get the menu with F40 (on sdc)
and it boots properly.

Please correct me if I am not wrong.

Sorry for all this mail exchanges for a simple thing.
Any release brings is own surprise.
It may be not finished. We will see.

Thank to every body.
