Is this on CentOS 7?

Well, yes, I remember that it didn't work for me when I installed new
servers one or two years ago, that was with CentOS 7 and they were my
first EFI installs.

I have restored the original configs after messing with grub2-mkconfig and
only used kernel installs to further modify grub config. That way it has
always worked for me. And I was a bis scared by the whole EFI, grub2 and
everything around it because I felt I don't really understand how it all
interacts in detail.
