leapp from OEL 7.9 to 8 fails to grub rescue

MGHefflerSep 7 2022 — edited Sep 7 2022

I have tried leapp on a system numerous times and have tried everything I can think of to covert it from OEL 7.9 to OEL 8 but after the upgrade, it keeps rebooting into grub rescue.
ls (hd0,msdos1)/grub2 has the grub files
ls (hd0,msdos1)/ has the kernels
I can change root= from hd0,msdos1 to (hd0,msdos1)
"isnmod normal" replies with "error: symbol 'grub_real_boot_time' not found.
I successfully converted the VM from grub to grub2 and confirmed with numerous reboots before the leapp upgrade.
Thanks for any help in advance. I have been struggling with this process for about a month. I had no problem using leapp to covert two VMs from OEL 8 to 9, This is the first OEL 7 to 8 I have been testing.
