https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D222960 Bug ID: 222960 Summary: Installer suggests GPT+Active when booting in EFI mode Product: Base System Version: 11.1-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: vangyzen@FreeBSD.org When booting a Dell Precision T5810 in EFI mode, the installer recommends t= he GPT+Active workaround. This would be correct in Legacy/BIOS mode, but it's very harmful in EFI mode because the newly installed system won't boot. The installer should only suggest the workaround when booting in Legacy/BIOS mo= de. This has bitten two of my coworkers recently when they got new workstations. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
