maruru BIOS, GPT, BTRFS, using custom partitioning with two partitions (one primary root, one swap). Did I miss a flag or anything else? I tried to install grub manually (using the Gentoo manual), but without success. Any help welcome!
loopset So, do you run manually grub-install and it gives that error? Or that error is during the installation? I think we need more info... Look here: https://kaosx.us/docs/
maruru loopset it throws the specified error during the graphical installation. Manual procedure: root #mount /dev/sda2 /mnt root #mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc root #mount --rbind /sys /mnt/sys root #mount --make-rslave /mnt/sys root #mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dev root #mount --make-rslave /mnt/dev root #chroot /mnt root #grub-install /dev/sda which yields the error warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible error: filesystem `btrfs` doesn't support blocklists Link to system info
loopset You need to do more steps to make a work a combination of BIOS+GPT. See these links: https://kaosx.us/docs/bios_gpt/ and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#GUID_Partition_Table_.28GPT.29_specific_instructions And I suppose that the error of btrfs is related to that bad configuration of bios+gpt.
maruru Interestingly I did add the 8MB partition before adding the rest with the graphical installer. I got it working now by doing the whole partitioning manually with parted and just leaving everything as is in the installer. Maybe I clicked something wrong in the GUI (several times 🙁 ) Thank you for your help!
