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.

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
