    The installer definitely didn't create a GPT for me. Are you sure you're using the standard desktop installation CD, and not a Mac special one?

    Correct - this is what I did.

    One minor difference I just noticed - my external display is using the DVI connector, not analog (VGA). But that shouldn't cause what you are seeing.

    Yes, Oneiric is on the internal drive, using MBR, but that shouldn't matter. I change the drive if I need to to switch over to OS X or Ubuntu.
