You don't need to convert anything. UEFI can use DOS partition tables.
I know since that's what I'm currently doing.
Doing what ?
Using msdos partition tables.
I am not talking about you doing anything. I am saying that native
UEFI boot (NOT legacy boot) can use a disk with a DOS partition table,
provided that it has an EFI system partition (Id 0xef).
Isn't it ef00?
But as mentioned in my
first message, I suspect the ACPI issues arising during boot time might
be linked to that fact. So that's why I'd like to try to be 100% UEFI
compliant.
Linked to what fact ? That the disks have DOS partition tables ? No
way ACPI cares about that.
That's what I confirmed succeeding in my entreprise :)
Because what I finally did is install a fresh Debian on another device
(using GPT) and the ACPI errors still were there.
I used the opportunity of having another Debian to convert my sda disk
to GPT tables, and change the BIOS setting to UEFI only (just for the
sake of it). So all my disk have a GPT partition table except for the 3
ones for the RAID1 array. Not sure whether I can use the same
manipulations to convert them to GPT also. But since they work fine, I
might leave it as it is.
I used http://www.linuxtopic.com/2017/08/convert-mbr-to-gpt.html to help
me, might be useful to others.
Thanks for time taken to answer.
Best,
