[Bug 856763] Re: Mac cannot boot from reiserfs

[Chad A. Davis]

Also, when I do try to manually create the efi partition (in case it's
not automatically created) I get:

  The efi file system creation in partition #3 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda)
failed.

In this case I tried to create an xfs filesystem, rather than a
reiserfs, but the failure occurred while trying to create the efi
partition. So, I believe that it belongs in this bug report.

I will attach these new logs as well.

** Summary changed:

- Mac cannot boot from reiserfs
+ Mac cannot boot after manual partitioning, unless using ext4

Title:
  Mac cannot boot after manual partitioning, unless using ext4

Status in “parted” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I performed manual partitioning. In addition to a swap partition and
  the reiserfs partition, I left several megabytes free at the beginning
  of the disk for the GPT/bios_grub partition (the approach works fine
  for ext4 partitions). The installation proceeds without error. On
  reboot the Mac "Folder with question mark" icon is shown (meaning no
  bootable partitions found).
