ReaR won't work to back up/restore this system, complaining about the UEFI. I cloned the drive to a different server with clonezilla-live which completed without errors but it won't boot. I booted an install disk in rescue mode, did a chroot to /mnt/sysimage and everything looked OK. A 'grub-install /dev/sda' did not give any errors and I can now get it to boot to the grub> prompt. What's the right way to fix the grub install here?
Is the /boot/grub/grub.conf file correct?
I'm not sure what 'correct' is. On this system there is a small FAT partition in addition to the traditional /boot that is mounted as /boot/efi and /etc/grub.conf is a symlink to /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.conf. It is the first install I've seen that looked anything like that.
The original has this - and I think the copy is the same:
