[EN] Install fails to boot (probably a partition error)

[aliclondon]

Hi,

I'm test installing Siduction on QEMU. I created the following partitions with the GUI installer:

GPT partition table
/dev/vda1 : 8MB unformatted with "bios_grub" flag (as suggested in the installer)
/dev/vda2 : 30GB BTRFS, mounted as /
GRUB installed to /dev/vda

I want /boot files in / because I want them as part of BTRFS snapshots (in-case I accidentally trash them later on).

Siduction installs, but wont boot - it hangs at this:

Maybe the same as in https://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=9735.0

It's a different issue.

When I use the "Erase disk" and let the siduction installer automatically partition it installs and boots ok.

And what does the automatically generated partition table look like?
That might give you a clue.

That might give you a clue.

sudo gdisk -l /dev/vda

This shows it is MBR (not GPT).

So then back to my original post - how do I create a GPT based one that boots - when I try (as in my OP) it fails to boot
