Hi, I'm in trouble with setup-storage and installing Grub2.
The error I get is: Performing GRUB install with command: /usr/sbin/grub-install --no-floppy --root-directory=/target /dev/sda /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: This msdos-style partition label has no post-MBR gap; embedding won't be possible!. /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and its use is discouraged.. /usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: if you really want blocklists, use --force... I've found something interesting there: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-d...@lists.debian.org/msg682316.html It is said that "the first partition starts at sector 63 like any normal partioning tool does." On my machine, I've got the first partition starting at sector 1. # fdisk -lu /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 64.4 GB, 64424509440 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7832 cylinders, total 125829120 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0008e681 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 204800 102400 83 Linux Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 204801 2301952 1048576 82 Linux swap / Solaris Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda3 2301953 4399104 1048576 83 Linux Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda4 4399105 125829119 60715007+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 4399168 7471167 1536000 83 Linux /dev/sda6 7471231 9568382 1048576 83 Linux /dev/sda7 9568446 10617021 524288 83 Linux /dev/sda8 10617085 12714236 1048576 83 Linux /dev/sda9 12714300 125829119 56557410 8e Linux LVM I'm using fai 3.3.5+experimental3.
