This also didn't work.

There is still some "error" being printed as a result of something in 
the grub config that I can't see. Here's my /etc/sysconfig/grub again:

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=gfxterm
GRUB_TERMINAL=gfxterm
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md.uuid=bde3f430:15091bce:874aaa0e:e48f341a 
rd.md.uuid=921fb4bb:6329d29b:734b1584:7f4d3dba "
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600x32
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=800x600x32
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=800x600x32

I've also included the resulting grub.cfg (with my manual edits of the 
kernel command-line). Anyone else have any ideas?
