Well somehow yes, it helps.
In your case grub doesn't install correctly.

Now I'll use grub-install
Launching: chroot /mnt/RESTORING grub-install /dev/vda
chroot: can't execute 'grub-install': No such file or directory


This error msg is normal as this is a grub2 version.

grub-install returned 127
Now I'll use grub2-install

So we jump now to that version.

Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub2-install: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/vda1.  Check your device.map.


THat's probably the issue here. Could you give us your /boot/grub2/device.map file please ?

grub2-install returned 1
Trying a hack
Checking usr/lib/grub/i386-pc
Cannot find BOOTPATHNAME
.............Cool.
device (hd0) /dev/vda

As the grub2-install didn't worked we tride something which didn't work either. I'll see to fix that one, if I can. But in fact the first one should be theone which works out of the box, which is the case on my test on a physical server on RHEL7 on my side. Not with CentoS7 on virtual server in your case.

>In any case, Merry Christmas!

You too and all the reader of this mailing list as well !
