I.e., was there a /boot/grub* visible in the filesystem when you ran grub-install, and is it the same /boot/grub* that you used for the grub-mkconfig step?

Take a closer look in the /boot/grub2 folder, as I believe grub2 only 
uses the ".cfg" extension.  The ".conf" extension is only for 
chain-loading a previously installed grub1.
