I'm trying to install grub but I'm getting the error:Warning This GPT partition label contains no BIOS boot partition: embedding won't be possibleI'm using GPT to partition, and the file system is ext3. When I ran gdisk -l it shows the first partitions start sector on the SSD (which is /sda) is 2040.Am I getting this error because the disk doesn't start on the first 512 bytes?If not, what else could be causing this error?I'm trying to get this to work to complete Arch installation.parted -l :Warning: /dev/sda contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GTP table.However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should.Perhaps it was corrupted -- possibly by a program that doesn't understand GTPpartition tables.

The first partition can start at 2040, but it must have the bios_grub flag and that is what your grub install is complaining about.If you do parted -l /dev/sda you should get something like:Model: ATA Samsung SSD 840 (scsi)Disk /dev/sda: 250GBSector size (logical/physical): 512B/512BPartition Table: gptNumber  Start   End     Size    File system  Name  Flags 1      1049kB  2097kB  1049kB                     bios_grub 2      2097kB  2150MB  2147MB  ext2 3      2150MB  36,5GB  34,4GB  btrfs
