https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211715 Bug ID: 211715 Summary: Some computers can not boot – no file system found (e.g. 'Non-System disk or disk error …') – where the GPT and partitions are created by gpart(8) Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any URL: https://github.com/trueos/pc-sysinstall/issues/3#issue comment-238661284 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: grahamperrin@gmail.com FreeBSD-based TrueOS Desktop CURRENT installed to an HP EliteBook 8540p notebook with UEFI enabled. A limited workaround is outlined below. Long before this beta, I found the same symptoms but never a workaround with FreeBSD-based PC-BSD CURRENT installed to some other computers, including but not limited to an HP EliteBook 8570p. Outline ======= https://github.com/trueos/pc-sysinstall/issues/3#issuecomment-238661284 is concise – > If I boot from the installation disk and run the following commands – > > gpart destroy -F ada0 > > gpart create -s gpt ada0 > > – then boot Parted Magic (from UBCD) and launch Partition Editor, there is again the prompt to fix the GPT. – and critically, for a disk where the operating system is installed: a) without a fix to the GPT, the computer can not find the BSD boot loader – more broadly, it can not find the file system that should be used for the UEFI boot; and b) immediately after a fix by GParted to the GPT, the loader is found and the FreeBSD-based OS boots without difficulty. Symptom on an HP EliteBook 8540p ================================ > Non-System disk or disk error > replace and strike any key when ready > > _ Shown by GParted ================ > Not all of the space available to /dev/sda appears to be used, you can fix the GPT to use all of the space (an extra 7 blocks) or continue with the current setting? Limitations of the workaround ============================= If GELI encryption is preferred when installing the OS, then (as above) the computer can not find the file system that includes the boot loader. The fix to the GPT will allow the loader to be found, however: * with the attempt to load, there's an immediate panic.
