Grub2 identified the DVD as a HDD causing boot failures

Issue

During kickstart grub2-mkconfig recognized the DVD as another hard drive, configuring it as hdX.

• After removing the CD/DVD and booting the system it has the following error:

error: disk `hd0,gpt2' not found.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

• Running the ls command from the grub terminal shows that hd0 is actually the CD/DVD and hd1 is the HDD.

In grub terminal, the ls grub command returns these errors when no CD/DVD is present:

error: failure reading sector 0xe0 from hd0
error: failure reading sector 0x0 from hd0

Rerunning the grub2-install command does not provide relief even if there is no DVD in the dvdrom drive.
