Thank you.

Unfortunately, adding the additional PATH to this file doesn't fix the problem.

'grub2-mkconfig' finds the new kernel, but after that we get the problem with PATH for initrd. Fixed.

After that I'm happy to get the new problem with 'invalid magic number' and 'you need to load the kernel first'.

Hate it...

I made it many times. The same steps. Now it's all brok... changed.

Looking at /etc/grub.d/10_linux, it expects

case "x$machine" in
xi?86 | xx86_64) klist="/boot/vmlinuz-* /vmlinuz-* /boot/kernel-*" ;;
