Hi dib-gurus,
I'm trying to build a simple ubuntu VM image on a local Gigabyte BRIX
with a AMD A8-5557M APU with Ubuntu 16.04 installed and getting an odd
error. Hoping someone has some ideas...
The command I am running is:
disk-image-create -o /tmp/ubuntu.qcow2 --image-size=10 ubuntu vm
Everything goes smoothly until trying to write the MBR, at which point I
get the following error:
+ /usr/sbin/grub-install '--modules=biosdisk part_msdos'
--target=i386-pc /dev/loop0
Installing for i386-pc platform.
/usr/sbin/grub-install: warning: this msdos-style partition label has no
post-MBR gap; embedding won't be possible.
/usr/sbin/grub-install: error: embedding is not possible, but this is
required for cross-disk install.
/dev/loop0: [0047]:3 (/tmp/image.hk8wiFJe/image.raw)
Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hey Jay,
I just tried to reproduce this on my 14.04 box and wasn't able to so I
am betting there's some kind of new bug with us on 16.04. Do you get the
same error if you run without --image-size=10? Last time we had an issue
like this a new grub version changed the default behavior, so I'd
suspect something along those lines.
I am trying out a new run on a 16.04 box but its going to be a bit
before the cloud image downloads (cloud-image.ubuntu.com is pretty
slow)...
Thanks, Greg! Yeah, I guessed it might be something to do with the
target image size maybe being too small or something, so I retried
without the --image-size and got the same result. So, must be something
different...
Best,
-jay
