How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL7 64bit hvm guest with following cfg:
name = "RHEL7-64-hvm"
maxmem = 1024
memory = 1024
vcpus = 2
builder = "hvm"
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
boot = "d"
pae = 1
apic = 1
acpi = 1
sdl = 0
vnc = 1
vncunused = 1
vnclisten = "0.0.0.0"
localtime = 0
on_poweroff = "destroy"
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "restart"
device_model='/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
disk = ["file:/data/exp/images/RHEL-Server-7-64-hvm.raw,hda,w","file:/data/exp/iso/0223/RHEL-7.0-20120223.n.1-Server-x86_64-dvd1.iso,hdc:cdrom,r"]
vif = [ "type=ioemu,mac=06:16:36:a3:e3:c8,bridge=xenbr0,script=vif-bridge,model=rtl8139"]
serial = "pty"

install.log
More investigation is ongoing.
(1) The guest image is bootable without run grub2-intall case
(2) Tried grub2-intall case in rescue mode and normal mode:
tried with matrix (file+tap:aio) * (xvda + hda), all results are same:
#grub2-intall /dev/xvda
Installation finished. No error reported
(3) there is a install.log in guest /root (attached)
with following interesting messages:
grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
grubby: doing this would leave no kernel entries. Not writing out new config.
