What kind of filesystem do you use? Can you show the output of `mount'? Please be *very* careful with installing on GPT. The only way to use GRUB with GPT is by using a floppy. This is because it does not have a bootsector. The intended way of booting such system is by using EFI. Unfortunately I don't have such system available and GRUB 2 is not changed so it can deal with EFI. Also see my other email regarding this issue: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2005-11/msg00163.html Any ideas and suggestions regarding this problem are welcome. I expect more people will run into this problem.
