you'll have to write a new config manually. You can beat the rush and do
it now - install grub2, remove grub (you can use yum shell mode to do
this without any complaints), run 'grub2-mkconfig
-o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg' then 'grub2-install /dev/whatever' ,
where /dev/whatever is the device you want to boot from.
Is it really /boot/grub2/grub.cfg? The installation created two partitions sda1 which was mounted as /boot/efi and is 6GB big and sda2 mount as /boot which is just 500MB big. Does your approach mean that /boot/efi is not used anymore after the switch to grub2? And why were grub and grub2 installed in parallel, I didn't do it manually.
