Red Hat Bugzilla 1711710 0 unspecified CLOSED Upgrade from Fedora 29 to 30. Boot menu does not contain any F30 entries 2021-02-22 00:41:40 UTC

Description RobbieTheK 2019-06-16 13:25:06 UTC 
Similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1652806, the upgrade failed with a very quick error like error: file '/grub2/grubenv' not found
e, I couldn't capture it but the server just kept rebooting over and over.

I posted a discussion on the new discourse at https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/error-no-such-device-after-fedora-30-upgrade-on-software-raid/2051 and have yet to receive any replies.

Here's an fdisk and lsblk:

Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 524288 bytes / 1048576 bytes

Reinstalling Grub and running grub2-mkconfig and then the system tries to boot on Fedora 28. Let me know what else I can provide. Could this be related to blscfg?

Duplicate of 1652806, the server had old versions of Fedora and never had grub2 updated.
