Hello Everyone,
New installation on an older x346 system that has a HW raid serveraid7k. I have the appropriate kernel driver compiled `aic79xx`.

When I try to mount the partitions outside of chroot everything mounts fine. Within chroot, I get a "permission denied" when trying to mount.
My bigger problem is that when trying to install grub, I am getting:
| Code: | grub-install /dev/sda
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: disk does not exist, so falling back to partition device /dev/sda4.
grub-install: warning: disk does not exist, so falling back to partition device /dev/sda4.

Hardened kernels disallow some operations inside a chroot, even when run by root. Run the operations from outside the chroot (if possible), disable the chroot security restrictions, or switch to a non-hardened kernel for those steps.
For your grub install, what does ls -l /dev/sda* show after grub fails? |

Hello Hu,
Thank you for your response. What I think happened is that when I partitioned the drive I was using GPT (default) this is an older machine and I does not support EFI.
By any means, I made sure the boot partition is of type linux filesystem:
| Code: | /dev/sda1 2048 477183 475136 232M Linux filesystem
/dev/sda3 477184 8865791 8388608 4G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda4 8867840 71782399 62914560 30G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda5 71782400 213280767 141498368 67.5G Linux filesystem
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Aug 23 15:37 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Aug 23 15:37 /dev/sda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 3 Aug 23 15:37 /dev/sda3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 4 Aug 23 15:37 /dev/sda4
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 5 Aug 23 15:37 /dev/sda5

Using GPT in fdisk there is no longer a option to toggle the boot flag. How do I do this?

You can use fdisk and create protective MBR on your GPT drive. Then you can set the boot flag in case your BIOS requires it.

Hello Jag,
Thank you for your response. I am kind of a noob to this. How do I create a protective MBR on the GPT? I think the bios does require it because I am getting cursor on boot...
I just wanted to mention that this machine will *never* have dual boot
| Code: |
gdisk /dev/sda
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.1
Partition table scan:
MBR: protective
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present
Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Command (? for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 213282816 sectors, 101.7 GiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 8D47D867-637F-40BD-8729-7E80013A2D83
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 213282782
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 8125 sectors (4.0 MiB)
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name
1 2048 6143 2.0 MiB EF02 grub
2 6144 475135 229.0 MiB 8300 boot
3 477184 8865791 4.0 GiB 8300 swap
4 8867840 71782399 30.0 GiB 8300 rootfs
5 71782400 213280767 67.5 GiB 8300 primary

I really don't want to start the installation from the beginning using the correct (dos) partition table...

| Also, how to set the boot flag on GPT in fdisk? The a command is no longer valid |
