Gparted/libparted allows creating the partition but does not allow creating a EFI partition ID... but fdisk can create EFI partition ID!
After creating a 8Mb unformatted partition, with gparted for convenience, at the end of /dev/sda... new partition will be /dev/sda2 if there is only one primary partition before creation: sudo fdisk /dev/sda "t", select appropriate partition nb (previously created partition, should be nb 2 in my exemple), and choose "ef" type... After that, type "p" to check the partition table that will be modified. If correct, "w" to write it and escape fdisk with "q". That's done, at next reboot "boot booster" appears again in eeePC BIOS. It should not be a problem to automate this creation as all tools are already present in ubuntu liveCDs. I detailled instructions for users that are not very aware of this and could google here... -- recognising eeepc models and setting up a boot booster partition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370806 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
