Subject: [gentoo-user] Boot gentoo with GTP Disk label
Date: Sat, 08 May 2010 16:16:36 +0200	[thread overview]

Hello,

I installed a gentoo on a very recent system  (efi support) . AT the
reception of the laptop  it was a disk label msdos, with a boot
partition w** installer ... I changed that against  a GPt disk label. I
can install without problem the gentoo , but now it doenst boot.

I read some docs about gpt,mbr,boot principles and tried some tools

- install the grub2 masked package and grub-install.

- a special partion bios_grub  as 1st bootable partition.
but actually no succesful...
but in the parted i did not see this "bios_grub" as  flag...
 
I found some  tips from the web , but i guess that was only valid for a
macintel system, not a normal pc  with a disk labeled gpt and an efi
support.

I know that it is not required  an  efi partiton to boot the os with
pc/bios and gpt disk. Or is it false ?

If anybody has an other idea. Or I must  abandon the gpt disk label ?
Is there an equivalent refitr in OS x86  ?

Thanks
Best regards
Claude
