grub2-install after upgrade seems to install grub not in the right way. looks like it doesn't detect all hd types available to boot from ... For virtual machines (KVM) you'll have to execute commands: grub2-install /dev/vda grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg afterwards grub works again as expected.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

I'm sure it was a combination of my own fault and the issue discussed on bug 735259. What grub2 version were you updating from?

Note that grub2-install will use /boot/grub2/device.map which can be updated by grub2-mkdevicemap. > For virtual machines (KVM) you'll have to execute commands: > > grub2-install /dev/vda > grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg What difference did grub2-mkconfig make? Are you sure it was needed?
This issue was reported against early rawhide and there haven't been any response. Closing.
