Questions actually. Did you previously boot from an efi boot? YMMV, but I have hardware that will not boot from an efi partition so instead of install grub-efi, I need to install grub-pc. In my recent experience (multiple attempts on new hardware), I had to use gdisk(?) to create the partitions, for an efi, then gptX(data(/)) and gpty(swap), which the install(IME) does automatically if you let it run. The first partition is a smallish ms-dos/efi partition. So unless you can create(carve out) a ms-dos/efi partition, you might be stuck. Traditionally it was at the front to over come initial OS hardware limitations, but I do not know if that applies in current times for linux. Perhaps you can shrink the last partition to squeeze one in. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
