For 13.10, so far, this seems to be the way to get these disks to boot: 1) Prior to installation, carve out a partition of at least 133MB in parted using a GPT partition table. Toggle the boot flag. 2) Format the disk using 'mkdosfs -s 1 /dev/sda1' 3) Start up the server installer. 4) Select manual partitioning. 5) Don't touch the EFI system partition, but, go ahead and set up partitions for "/" and swap. 6) Proceed with the installation and reboot when done. 7) The system should drop to a grub prompt. At the grub prompt, use the commands above to boot the operating system.
I'll also try this on 12.04.3 using the patched versions of partman-base and partman-efi. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065281 Title: Installer crashed when trying to partition 4k/4k sector hard disks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-poweredge/+bug/1065281/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
