unable to setup bootloader /boot partition
by ratan61 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6DTZF)
Hello team ,
I'm unable to setup bootloader /boot partition. Here is the layout which I'm following :
/dev/sda ---> /dev/sda1 --> I choose Linux ID:BIOS Boot partition and format with FS:EXT4 and mount as /boot.
the above disk is 1GB and I have allocate 500MB only for /boot as a standard partition.
/dev/sdb--> /home,/,/var /tmp and swap.
That's all , these are only neededas of now. I see after creating these , I'm getting a warning :
A partition of type BIOS boot partition is needed to install the bootloader.
such a setup is not supported and may cause problems with the bootloader now or in the future.
Do you want to continue ?
After which the installation completed but server not rebooted. Please help me why this issue is occurring ?
list of queries :
This VM is built on VMware environment and has BIOS SUpporting instead of EFI Support. I have seen this error in the internet but no clear solution that really works.
1.firstly, what type of FS layout is required for SUSE 15. Does it require /boot/efi compulsory ?
please suggest quite urgently.
