DetailsAs I've seen GPT support for Grub was added by feature:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9864 and then removed by bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10639 In the later ticket a solution was found for the problem: ~~~~ Ok, i've found the reason what's wrong with the gpt patch file. The author has made syntax errors: he patched the code for some sources so that a if-construct follows directly after a while, before the opening { on this while. So the while-block was never checked. ~~~~ But the solution was not applied, but instead GPT support was removed. Furthermore most distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo) have Grub 0.97 with GPT support and everything seems to be working. Thus I would kindly ask for the reintroduction of GPT support. (Either as a patch embedded in the `grub` package or at least as a duplicate package `grub-gpt` in the core repository as Grub is quite an important piece of the operating system.) |

Reason for closing: Won't implement
Additional comments about closing: use grub2 or any of the alternatives. I don't plan to support features not supported by upstream. If you need it, you can just apply it yourself as this package won't get any version bumps anyway.
