With a GPT you _need_ to have a small partition (1MiB is enough) marked as "bios_grub" or "BIOS boot partition" of type EF02 to be able to install GRUB. This is needed because with a GPT there is no "hole" or free space after the MBR and the beginning of the first partition. Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault.
