Hi Gratien.
Is s390x still unsuported? I tried run tests on s390x and it fails because of 'Unknown bootloader'.

Please report this issue at https://github.com/rear/rear/issues
and include the relevant parts from /var/log/rear/rear-ibm-z-37.log
preferably with full debug information via 'rear -d -D mkbackup'

# rpm -q rear
rear-2.00-1.el7.s390x

When I checked script 450_check_bootloader_files.sh, I saw that there is no grubby support which s390x needs.

@tcerna Hi Tereca - unfortunately I do not have access to s390x hardware to get support added into ReaR. I'm looking for a sponsor who can do this for us, or someone who is willing to buy consultancy to get this implemented.

@schabrolles Hey Sebastien, s390x is this an architecture that you cover as well?

@gdha, not in my team ... If needed I could ask if somebody could find some time to work on that.

The grubby bootloader might be now supported
since https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/2142 is merged
because grubby is mentioned in
https://github.com/rear/rear/blob/master/usr/share/rear/prep/Linux-s390/305_include_s390_tools.sh

@tcerna
could you test if grubby now works for you, cf.
