Working on backup of whole ec2 volume and image to upload to s3. Using RHEL7 and it internally uses Grub2 as bootloader. EC2 AMI tools requires grub legacy loader and I'm struck up in this loader. When i run ec2-bundle-vol, Stacktrace is as follows,

Partition type "mbr"
/usr/local/ec2/ec2-ami-tools-1.5.3/lib/ec2/platform/linux/image.rb:196:in `block in verify_runtime': Required utility 'grub' not found in PATH - is it installed? (FatalError)
from /usr/local/ec2/ec2-ami-tools-1.5.3/lib/ec2/platform/linux/image.rb:194:in `each'

Is there a way to make use of grub2 to run ec2 ami commands. pls guide !

What did Amazon tell you when you contacted them about this? – Michael Hampton Aug 18 '14 at 10:59
@MichaelHampton: I have reached them just now but no answer yet.. thought someone would have implemented bypassing the error.. – Sva Aug 18 '14 at 11:16
That's silly. The first thing to do is report the problem to the developers so they can fix it! – Michael Hampton Aug 18 '14 at 11:16
Did you find a solution to this? Did Amazon get back to you? – David Poxon Oct 19 '15 at 01:19
I'm running into the same thing with Ubuntu 18.04 and up. Reported it at Packer but they (probably rightfully) won't have it https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/6974 – kvz Jun 27 '19 at 12:02
