Default installation of 13.0-CURRENT (with Zfs) to Dell E6530 fails to boot with the error: Invalid partition table All is OK if select non-default Ufs in the installer. SATA controller: 8086:1e03 Drive: WD5000BPVT-24HXZT3 Motherboard: 024YM1 Tested on: FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-amd64-20200430-r360479-memstick.img FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-amd64-20200507-r360723-memstick.img
- Is laptop set to BIOS or UEFI boot? - What partition scheme is chosen (there's no default, IIRC, as it changes according to boot type)? - If you boot from installation media after install, escape to shell, what is the `gpart show` output for UFS (successful) and ZFS (unsuccessful) installs? - If GPT/UEFI was chosen, what is the `efibootmgr` and contents of EFI system partition (it can be mounted using mount_msdosfs) are?
Retried with FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-amd64-20200514-r361019-memstick.img The laptop is set to Legacy BIOS mode in both cases. Two drives are attached to the laptop: ada0 - with UFS (successful) installation, MBR ada1 - with ZFS (unsuccessful) installation, GPT gpart show: https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=04cd35a77b&log=gpart gpart list -a: https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=04cd35a77b&log=gpart_list Thanks.
