How did you clone it? Did you use cp? Did you use rsync? What was the exact command?

Did you use chroot at all? That is, did you mount the clone's parts, bind the dev, proc, sys file system, and then chroot the clone, and then from within chroot did you grub2-install, grub2-mkconfig, and run dracut?

That's why you chroot the clone, then run all of these commands, otherwise they do not produce correct results for the clone.

The clone is on another drive? And is that drive in the same computer or a different computer?
