Hi James,

I don't want to cause any problems :-/ I'm just trying to boot this piece of crap of mine so I can proceed with installation.
But I'm out of luck. It could be due to my old BIOS not recognizing correctly GPT.

I think my only options would be to scrap that GPT and go with MBR, as Alex suggested.

Yes, I know how to install specific version.

I have tried to use gdisk "expert mode"
gdisk /dev/sda
x - expert mode
a 
1

and I set flags: "0" - system partition and "2" legacy BIOS bootable

I try to reboot and still no luck; so I'm getting into conclusion that scraping the I have to scrap that GPT.
I was trying to avoid as it take some time to do it from scratch ;-(
