Parent article: Grub2 updates for Red Hat systems are making some unbootable
I suppose it's still got to know which file system has the contents of /boot so that it knows where to put its modules, and the other things it wants to put in /boot/grub. That's a little harder since there isn't a designated type UUID for the partition containing /boot (and it could be on an LVM volume or something else that's not a GPT partition). So you might have to in some cases give it the --boot-directory option, as well (or mount the desired file system at /boot in advance).
Nevertheless, I still don't see how specifying a disk (as long as it's not wrong), could be more harmful than not specifying a disk.
