Unless you're multi-booting and grub's managed by another
distribution, you may as well run "grub2-install /dev/...". The bug
report says that it's supposed to be fragile, but it last failed for
me seven years ago (more or less) with "/boot" on mdraid1. Maybe I've
just been lucky...
I went ahead and run grub2-install /dev/sda and rebooted. All seems
well. No changes in the boot process that I could see. I still get the
kernel menu and then it boots and I get all the messages about what's
starting. (I removed the rhgb and quiet option years ago. As an old
retired Linux/Solaris admin I prefer to see things happening. It just
makes me feel better.)
