The warning from grubby can be due either to grubby choking on grub.cfg, old  
grub 1 config file, which is not needed any more, or if grubby can't figure  
out what to do with grub2. grubby, when told to do its thing, will check to  
see if either grub 1 or grub 2 is installed, and run through both of them.

It's not clear if your grubby warnings are due to the old grub 1 config, or  
the current grub 2 config. If it's grub 1, deleting grub.cfg will shut  
grubby up. If it's grub 2, I found that rerunning grub2-mkconfig generates a  
new grub 2 config file that will make grubby happy, going from that point on.
