hi curaga,
for me it's no problem to partition in the "old school" ways... like fdisk, cfdisk etc.
is there a own boot-block for gpt?
would you be so kind and be more specific how to use gpt?
could you please provide your grub2-configuration?
there are so many ways, perhaps there are some tiny differences to use grub2 with gpt,
perhaps it's just one line or a tiny variable...
does it work on an usbstick, even to multiboot different distributions, live-isos or frugal-installed-files?
thank you for your contributions.
