Fedora 19 tricky install

Hi all!

I have the following configuration.
Win7 UEFI install
Fedora 19 UEFI install

Disk has GPT and Linux has following partitions:
/, /boot, /boot/efi, swap, /home (luks)

After installing Fedora 19 my system booted into Win7 instead of Fedora 19.
I have found out that the EFI entry of my previous Fedora 17 install hasn't
been modified and it was no longer valid. So bootnext booted my Win7.

Fedora 17 efi entry pointed previously to "\EFI\redhat\grub.efi"
I have made a new efi entry pointing to "\EFI\fedora\grubx64.efi" and I
named it "Fedora 19+"

I got a grub2 shell. Manually giving the root, linuxefi, initrdefi and boot
commands my Fedora 19 booted successfully.
Now I did a "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub2.cfg"

At this point I still get the grub2 shell on boot and I need to issue the
"configfile (hd0,gpt5)/grub2/grub2.cfg".
Then I get the boot-menu I want to load automatically.

Question is where to put and how to name my grub2.cfg or what to modify
additionally to get grub config loaded automatically.

Best regards,
Robert Dady
