Moins, I wonder if grub / grub_pc is able to boot from gpt partitions.
and the partition "gpt-bios" is not know, you should declare it as "gpt" in setup-storage disk config, e.g. disk_config disk1 disklabel:gpt fstabkey:uuid primary - 0- - - (this definition is for a drbd device, so you need to configure your fs etc.) Regards, \sh On Thu, 9 Sep 2010 17:44:46 +0200 Garb Dowle <[email protected]> wrote: > 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.
