Hi, if I select "gpt-bios" as disklabel in my setup-storage config, then, after installation of a Ubuntu 10.04 Server with FAI 3.3.5 it won't boot. After the BIOS-Screen, there will be only a blinking cursor on a blank screen, and nothing happens.
Installing Ubuntu 10.04 with an Installation-CD on that system works fine. It recognizes my 12TB RAID-5 and adds a 1MByte BIOS Partition. The output of "gdisk -l /dev/sda" on that system shows: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.5.1 Partition table scan: MBR: protective BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT. Disk /dev/sda: 23437369344 sectors, 10.9 TiB Disk identifier (GUID): E206388F-7243-4EDF-BE0A-18E4F038DC38 Partition table holds up to 128 entries First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 23437369310 Total free space is 4029 sectors (2.0 MiB) Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 2048 4095 1024.0 KiB EF02 2 4096 503807 244.0 MiB 0700 3 503808 23437367295 10.9 TiB 8E00 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I noticed, that setup-storage will add the BIOS Partition for GPT always as the last partition. I tried to place it at the beginning of the partition table, so that the partition table will look like that one generated from the Installer-CD, but I wasn't successful. Does somebody know how I can get this working? Thanks!
