Is it a new bug in ReaR 2.4? ISTR testing a restore on UEFI successfully with some previous ReaR version. Also, should I clone it to RHEL 7? I'll clone it to RHEL7, it's a hidden bug from Upstream. I'm currently writing a KCS. (In reply to Pavel Cahyna from comment #1) > Is it a new bug in ReaR 2.4? ISTR testing a restore on UEFI successfully > with some previous ReaR version. I was probably mistaken - I think I tested only a non-UEFI case because UEFI was harder to automate. Am I right that it is a regression introduced in bz1663515 (PR #2001) ? Yes it's a regression from PR #2001. There is a fix upstream, although I would like to improve it. Hi Renaud, I made what I believe is an improvement upstream, because I find the current code very fragile, as it uses many assumptions on what modules to use and where to find them. It is https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/2293. Can you please review it? I would like to include it in the backport. It also fixes a related issue that GRUB_RESCUE is not working on UEFI (xfs is not among the default modules, so /boot can not be found). Good job. I propose to change the summary to something like "Error when booting the ReaR ISO on UEFI: Unknown command 'configfile'", because the current summary is misleading after my fix. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2020:1648 |
