Drop GRUB Legacy support and remove its code in ReaR #3127
Comments
In layout/save/default/450_check_bootloader_files.sh BugError when GRUB Legacy is used as bootloader see #3127
RHEL 6 uses GRUB legacy. So this would mean dropping support for RHEL 6. |
By the way @jsmeix , can we remove suport for ELILO as well? I believe it is there because of SLES. |
@pcahyna regarding ELILO: In contrast to the GRUB Legacy RPM package 'grub' I don't know under what circumstances ELILO |
@jsmeix thanks for the confirmation. It is not a priority, it's just that I saw ELILO when investigating the current bootloader support (that I am about to revamp a bit) so I wanted to avoid having to touch something that would be useless anyway. Since elilo is there, I will count on it in my plans. |

I wonder if GRUB Legacy support in ReaR
is still used anywhere?
For example regarding SUSE and openSUSE:
The SUSE SLES12 release notes
https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/12/index.html
read (excerpts):
So since SLES12 (since October 2014)
GRUB Legacy support is no longer needed in ReaR for SUSE,
