I have to ask, since I see a lot of grubby posts (pun intended):

I've *NEVER* run grub2-mkconfig.  I've always just yum/dnf update (do
all current updates), or just dnf update kernel (if I wanted to
specifically just do that), and it's always installed the new kernel
properly all by itself.  No further action was required by me.

What are people doing to their systems that they paint themselves into
a corner that they have to manually manage this, then have to pick up
the pieces when it doesn't work?
I have always run grub2-mkconfig both for legacy and uefi environments because in the past grubby did not honour the configuration I specified in /etc/default/grub. For example, I always specify that I want sub-menus for all linux environments and grubby always refused to do that, whereas grub2-mkconfig always did, hence I always used that.

regards,
Steve
