I had no issue installing grub2, I only noticed it was missing the 
fallback image when I needed it as both my kernel and arch paniced on 
boot so was going to try one of those. I ran grub-mkconfig after the 
install and it does not find them. I just tried running os-prober and 
grub-mkconfig again a couple hours ago with still not luck so just added 
them in myself. Also the stated kernel panic and grub2 install did not 
happen at the same time I only noticed it was missing due to the panic, 
grub2 was done each time it came from the repo's that day.
