Details

Currently our grub could not be used as bootloader when someone must use a GPT partition table (ex. when partitions must be > 2TB).
After installation on such a harddisk/array only lilo works.

There is a patch to add support for GPT available. I've tested it both on an GPT HD and also on an normal msdos table.

Patch could be found here:
