As a parallel experiment, I tried a restore of a CentOS 6 backup on the 
same VM (both had the same virtual disk size).

(My motive was to check whether mondo behaves OK with our Virtualization 
Provider's VM technology on the particular Virtualization cluster.)

The restore, using the Automatic ("nuke") method, went pretty fine! I 
didn't regenerate initrd nor changed anything during the restore.

(As as side note, two other experiments restoring automatically ("nuke") 
a different geometry VM, i.e. a backup of a greater HD size to a VM of a 
smaller HD size, failed, but that's a different story; I might post a 
different message on that.)

So, it does remain a question why our CentOS 7 restored backups won't 
boot no matter what.

I do thank Bruno for looking into the grub2-install problem, which most 
probably is the cause. If there is anything I can do to help, I'll be 
glad to!

I look forward to any news on it!

Thanks,
Nick
