In looking at stuff found something strange?
Don't recall any machine setup with efi boot, but found 
this?
On the machine that doesn't boot 
/boot/grub.env has
# GRUB Environment Block
# WARNING: Do not edit this file by tools other than grub-editenv!!!
saved_entry=0
boot_success=1
boot_indeterminate=0

/boot/efi/EFI/fedora has
# GRUB Environment Block
saved_entry=be4e5629d05040d192af245eeace0de2-5.14.12-100.fc33.x86_64
boot_success=0
kernelopts=root=UUID=a6fe5146-7a91-4f6d-ad5f-b04f68d46316 ro 
resume=UUID=bb597a53-7ccc-44b5-bf2c-9ebc40564f7f rhgb quiet 
boot_indeterminate=1

Not sure what created that resume option, or why it 
would cause a change in boot, since it isn't EFI??

Machine that isn't auto booting has
Device     Boot     Start       End   Sectors   Size Id Type
/dev/sda1  *         2048   2099199   2097152     1G 83 Linux
/dev/sda2         2099200  17498111  15398912   7.3G 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3        17498112 164298751 146800640    70G 83 Linux

/dev/sda5       164300800 976773119 812472320 387.4G 83 Linux
So don't see an EFI partition?

On this noteboot
/boot/grub2/grubenv has
# GRUB Environment Block
# WARNING: Do not edit this file by tools other than grub-editenv!!!
saved_entry=189711f94e78436d9618b891a8fce70e-5.16.17-100.fc34.x86_64

/boot/efi/EFI/fedora has

Original response I had started before I notice 
boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv issue??
Thanks.

Bios boot on all 5 machines.

terminal_output console
if [ x$feature_timeout_style = xy ] ; then
  set timeout_style=menu
  set timeout=5
# Fallback normal timeout code in case the timeout_style 
feature is
# unavailable.
else
  set timeout=5
fi

The grub.cfg file between two machines is identicle 
between two machines with exception of one machine 
having msdos5 instead of msdos1 because notebook 
original had windows 7 partition, and windows 7 boot 
option.

Only other difference are lines theses a6fe.. and 8410.. 
lines.

set kernelopts="root=UUID=a6fe5146-7a91-4f6d-ad5f-b04f68d46316 ro rhgb quiet "

search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 8410d98a-36ea-4189-80e0-8cd00f2eec66

The rest in the grub.cfg same.
