Expected results: capture s390 information. Additional info: I have created a plugin that works and a patch that updates the non-working version.
Created attachment 295836 [details] Patch that when applied to sos/plugins/s390.py (from F8) will create a working plugin.
The upstream version does work. It is just the fact that you are using an upstream plugin with a shipped version of sosreport that tries to access a function not yet released. In this case policyredhat getArch. Ive committed some of the patch mainly the ones that we aren't capturing yet. Please verify by downloading the _entire_ upstream trunk and testing against both RHEL4 and RHEL5. Thank you
