Hello Mike,
it looks for me like a BIOS problem if it works on another machines. Can you
look for BIOS Update for this laptop?
I have similar setups without such problems.

Hello everyone,
just a follow-up. With the help from Kerim I could managed my setup.
The disk-label "gpt-bios" will create this special 2MB Bios-Partition at
the end of the part-layout. It's not neccessary to define it in the
disk_config-File.
So to create my layout as I menti

to do automatic paritioning or do it manually.
You can.
automatic: disklabel:gpt-bios
manual: disklabel:gpt
However 'gpt-bios' will result in a 'out-of-order' partition naming, like
described in my previous post.

Hi Garb,
Sorry for following up as late as that. First of all, using gpt-bios is indeed
the proposed way to go, and hacking a bios_grub flag somehow into your config
really is a *hack*, because this is exactly what gpt-bios is supposed to take
care of.

Moins,
I wonder if grub / grub_pc is able to boot from gpt partitions.
and the partition "gpt-bios" is not know, you should declare it as
"gpt" in setup-storage disk config, e.g.

that performed the task.

Ok; it'll take me a few days to come up with a better solution (I don't think we
can yet fully switch to grub-pc). Could you, in the meantime, just put some hack
into your scripts to set BOOT_DEVICE to /dev/md0 to see which further errors we
need to get fixed?

Hmm, do you have any idea whether the version of grub that you are using has
