=================== Repair blockers
GPT detected. Please create a BIOS-Boot partition (>1MB, unformatted filesystem, bios_grub flag). This can be performed via tools such as Gparted. Then try again.
=================== Advice displayed in case of recommended repair
The boot of your PC is in EFI mode, but no EFI partition was detected. You may want to retry after creating a EFI partition (FAT32, 100MB~250MB, start of the disk, boot flag).
Do you want to continue?
=================== Default settings
Recommended-Repair
This setting would purge (in order to fix packages fix executable) and reinstall the grub2 of sda2 into the MBR of sda.
Additional repair would be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s
=================== Settings chosen by the user
Boot-Info
This setting will not act on the MBR.
No change has been performed on your computer.
while this is the message if I run recommended repair
GPT detected. Please create a BIOS-Boot partition (>1MB, unformatted filesystem, bios_grub flag). This can be performed via tools such as Gparted. Then try again.
It seems that I need necessarily a BIOS-Boot partition. Or I'm missing something...
