Thanks for your help on this topic! Brendan is probably using a GPT
partitionned disk on a non-UEFI compatible machine. Hence, as you
noticed, the installer does not create a bios_grub partition.

This is a problem as this partition is necessary for GRUB and I think
that your patch is fixing the problem. The "auto-partition!" procedure
is also leaving a probably pre-existing ESP partition, but I don't
really understand how it appeared in the first place.

Brendan, did you use "manual partitioning" to create an ESP partition?

Thanks,

Mathieu
