Fedora 25: grub2-efi uses wrong configuration file

I recently had to upgrade the MBR to GPT on my boot drive and I also installed grub2-efi, since my new mainboard uses EFI. Now I have the problem that grub does not upgrade the list of available kernel images on the boot screen.

When I use

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

the correct list of kernel images is written to the configuration file. But when I boot my PC I get a different (old) list of kernel images, which shows kernel images that are no longer installed.

So i found the solution. I only had the line

UUID=... /boot      ext4    defaults        1 2

in /etc/fstab regarding boot, so I had to add

UUID=... /boot/efi  vfat    defaults umask=0077,shortname=winnt 0 2

restart and then regenerate the grub config file

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
