Comment 2 for bug 515724

Here comes my partition setup from parted. Note that it says that the partition table is GPT, although I used gparted to remove all partitions and to create a new partition table of type msdos prior to installation (as described in the link from my previous post). Some googling showed that several people have this issue and it seems to be caused by the fact that the GPT is actually at the end of the drive not the start. I have no idea whether this GPT issue has an impact on the grub warning.
