at restart I got a new entry in my grub1 menu.... which of course is empty...

then I generated the grub.cfg
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

now at restart I had a proper entry in the grub menu... 
which correctly showed me a grub2 menu when selected...
however I could not boot the system getting all kind of failures mainly udev 
related...

I know my machine is an exotic setup but I am happy and free to test...
