I would like to install grub2 to a non-EFI machine with Windows+Linux (MBR partition table). As Linux uses LVM and the first partition starts at sector 63, there is not enough space in the MBR gap for grub. But I have a spare partition before the LVM starts (/dev/ sda5, 1 MB) where I would like to install grub.
# grub2-install /dev/sda5 grub2-install error embedding is not possible but this is required for raid and lvm install Why is "embedding" required for a LVM install? I understand that installing grub into a file system or LVM has it's own problems. But why can't I use a bare partition (like on an EFI system)? regards Christian
