Last few weekends I've tried to install debian 7.2 from live DVD (but booting from USB) on EFI hardware with GPT. I disabled EFI, crated a small partition at the begging of the disk, and run the usual installation process. However, at the end of installation I always receive the message like: "Grub-pc package failed to install into /target/".

Now, I solved this by booting to rescue mode, doing grub-install, chroot
into the instaled system and simply update grub. However, I found this solution suboptimal when compared to classical debian installation (utilizing MBR). So I wonder if anybody had experience on how to avoid this recue-grub_install-chroot-grub_update procedure?

Did anybody manage to automatically install debian on GPT?
Did anybody do it without disabling EFI (grub-efi perhaps)?
Or the only way to have the automated install is stick with MBR?

Thanks to anybody who cares.
