similar to: grub-install

The idea is to boot a disk in an mbr fashion while using the GPT (not filesystem) label to detect the disk. That is useful when you use grub2 & gpt. I was in case where my nodes (100s) have 8 disks each and no guarantee of which disk is "bootable" in the disk. This way I can tell "please boot the disk that have one partition labelled "xyz"". So nothing related

That is perfectly true. I had a beautiful bug in the code .... Switching from python to C have some weird side-effect. Indenting is not enough, brackets are required.... So I pushed https://github.com/ErwanAliasr1/syslinux/commit/5a122d218553a6d4019273653ba9fad66d6ae79e with the fix. I tested it on my multi-disk system with success. I also changed the name of the function. 2016-07-17 8:21

Hello Everyone, We have centos6 server. And we are planning to upgrade it to Centos7.And GRUB 2 needs a new bios grub partition. Creating a new partition is too much risky. I am wondering if it is possible to replace Grub2 with Grub legacy on Centos7 machine? Thanks!! Sachin

I am trying to install Centos 7 on a couple 4TB drives with software raid. In the Supermicro bios I set UEFI/BIOS boot mode to legacy. I am using the Centos 7 minimal install ISO flashed to a USB thumb drive. So I do custom drive layout something like this using sda and sdb. Create /boot as 512 MB XFS raid1 array. Create SWAP as 32 GB SWAP raid1 array. Create / on 3.xxx TB XFS raid1 array.

Hi, I'm currently teaching Linux system administration to a class at the local "chambre de commerce". The course is based mainly on a minimal CentOS 7 installation. Usually my preferred tool for handling manual GPT partitioning is gdisk, which is not installed on a minimal install. I just gave the good old fdisk a spin, which enables GPT partition table creation with the

Hi all, I was using grub2 for booting Archlinux x86_64 in my GPT Internal HDD (/dev/sda) then I switched to syslinux/extlinux. It was working fine but suddenly it staring showing "Boot Error" message on screen. I googled for a solution and tried all syslinux versions from 4.04-pre4 down to 4.03-stable but non of them worked. I don't know what suddenly changed caused this

Hi Giuseppe... ! Thanks for the hint. ill try it. So from the docs, I'm seeing this: "As of Fedora 16 there must be a biosboot partition for the bootloader to be installed successfully onto a disk that contains a GPT/GUID partition table, which includes disks initialized by anaconda. This partition may be created with the kickstart option part biosboot --fstype=biosboot --size=1.

Hi Giuseppe and thanks for the response............ Heres some more info: Here is my kickstart... maybe the "--bootloader" argument is wrong in some way? # Put this in pastebin or some other public url # Kickstart file automatically generated by anaconda. #version=DEVEL install cdrom lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us network --onboot yes --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp --noipv6 timezone

Pure EFI boot, you can just have: part /boot/efi --fstype="efi" Plus whatever volumes (PVs etc.) that you want.

Thank you so much!!! It worked.

I did not see any way, during the CentOS7 install, to install the CentOS7 boot loader into the /boot partition rather than to the MBR of a drive. How does one do this in the installation of CentOS7 ?

All, I've had a heck of a time getting Fedora 16 to run as a guest VM under CentOS 5.7 host as a paravirtualized Xen guest. I believe the issue has something to do with Fedora 16 using grub2... When I attempt to start the VM (via xm create), I get this error: Using config file "/etc/xen/fedora-workstation". Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pygrub",
