aitikin Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Trying to fix my Funtoo install and boot-update is giving the following output: Quote boot-update 1.8.2 / Copyright 2009-2017 Funtoo Technologies [use option "-l" for license info, "-h" for help] * Generating config for grub... Funtoo Linux genkernel - kernel-debian-sources-x86_64-4.8.15-1 DEFAULT > Funtoo Linux genkernel - kernel-debian-sources-x86_64-4.14.2-1 memtest86+ * NOTE: Detected MBR boot. Configuring for Legacy MBR booting. * WARN: multiple matches found for default "Funtoo Linux genkernel" - most recent used. * NOTE: Intel microcode will be loaded at boot-time. * Completed successfully with warnings. now, normally I'd trust a utility, but I know this disk is a GPT and "gdisk -l /dev/sda" gives the following: Quote GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.3 Partition table scan: MBR: protective BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present So...is there a good solution here? For the record, I'm in a chroot environment from an Ubuntu live USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhudson Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 looks like a warning saying it found two kernels , should be fine from boot.conf manual.... When using GRUB, boot-update will auto-enable UEFI boot configuration if it sees that your system has been booted in UEFI mode. Otherwise, MBR (legacy) boot mode will be used. I guess ubuntu booted in legacy mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aitikin Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 The warning isn't what I'm concerned with though, the MBR when it's a GPT disc is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhudson Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Yes I get that, Funtoo Recommends System Rescue CD as it will boot UEFI. Also depends on Motherboard System setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aitikin Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 System Rescue CD wouldn't do a USB boot after about 10 different tries... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhudson Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 It is difficult and a lot depends on how you create it and the OS that is creating it on. I went through the process a few years back, but don't remember what worked in the end, sorry I can not be of more help. https://www.funtoo.org/Boot_Methods https://www.funtoo.org/Pure_UEFI_Boot_Guide may or may not help you. I use mbr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
