Hmm. I haven't seen that one yet. Let's see where that is from:

On none of my 5209R's I have that RPM installed. I wonder why you have
it and why your Grub-image suddenly depends on it. Granted, I guess at
this time I don't have a single 5209R that uses EFI-boot to begin with.
The 5209R ISO is non-EFI as well.

So let's start fishing closer to that direction: Does that VM have EFI
enabled? Was the CentOS 7 installed with EFI-support and 5209R then got
installed via YUM?

Is EFI still on for that VM now?
