On SLES11 with elilo bootloader and EFI a mkrescue stops with the following error:

2015-04-29 16:13:08 Including output/default/94_grub_rescue.sh
2015-04-29 16:13:08 $grub_conf is set to:

Rear correctly sets $UEFI_BOOTLOADER to /boot/efi/efi/SuSE/elilo.efi
but later rear dies on the error grub.conf doesnt exit.
There is no script to handle elilo yet.

@ssievers If you could check with the updated lib/uefi-functions.sh script whether your problems goes away with it?

@ssievers ok, it might be fixed in output/default/94_grub_rescue.sh. Would be nice if you could test it out. Keep in mind that after the recovery elilo still needs to be run - a pull request would be wonderful!

I'll move the milestone as elilo support is in rear-1.17.1, however, it was not yet fully tested

We were able to successfully restore with elilo on an UEFI system (using ebiso to create a bootable uefi iso image)
