Description Diego Bello 2015-01-12 17:55:18 CET 
The "draklive-install" program crashed. Drakbug-16.26.8 caught it.

I  was installing Mageia and then I got this error.
Mageia 4 Live DVD KDE
Laptop Lenovo Thinkpad T540p

grub2-install failed: /usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible.
/usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: warning: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..

Same error in Mageia 5 beta2.
Mageia-5-LiveDVD-KDE-x86_64

Le programme « draklive-install » a planté avec l'erreur suivante :

  grub2-install failed: Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
  grub2-installà: erreurà: cannot find EFI directory.

The error occurs after choosing Grub2 and the entries.

Comment 2 Diego Bello 2015-01-19 13:56:07 CET 
Searching around I found out that Grub 2 needs an additional small partition for boot and it has to be flagged as boot-grub when using Parted. That was the only way I found to make it work.
