Description
Actual behavior
leap upgrade does not create a BOOT entry in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg required for BIOS machines pick the Centos7 to AlmaLinux conversion.
To Reproduce
Deploy a Gen1 server in Azure (they use BIOS boot), use ELevate to migrate from CentOS7 to AlmaLinux8, follow the normal process: leapp upgrade, reboot, and the machine will boot into the regular kernel.
[azureuser@centos7i ~]$ history
1 sudo yum update -y
2 sudo reboot
3 sudo yum install -y http://repo.almalinux.org/elevate/elevate-release-latest-el$(rpm --eval %rhel).noarch.rpm
4 sudo yum install -y leapp-upgrade leapp-data-almalinux
5 sudo leapp preupgrade
6 vi /var/log/leapp/leapp-report.txt
7 sudo vi /var/log/leapp/leapp-report.txt
8 sudo leapp answer --section remove_pam_pkcs11_module_check.confirm=True
9 sudo leapp upgrade
10 reboot
Expected behavior
After running sudo leapp upgrade boot into the ELevate temporary image and perform the in-place upgrade, however the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg is not updated to reflect the new initramfs.

Attach (or provide link to) log files if applicable (optional - may contain confidential information):
- All files in /var/log/leapp
- /var/lib/leapp/leapp.db
- journalctl
- If you want, you can optionally send anything else would you like to provide (e.g. storage info)
For your convenience you can pack all logs with this command:
# tar -czf leapp-logs.tar.gz /var/log/leapp /var/lib/leapp/leapp.db
Then you may attach only the leapp-logs.tar.gz file.
Additional context
original file split into 8 parts with the split command, just concatenate all files and use: tar -xvf file.tar.xz
