Was the problem that I used fdisk? It looks like too much of the MBR
partition table got overwritten and the disk doesn't look like GPT anymore.
I'm wondering why it's even necessary to update the MBR partition table?
The area that the boot partition is added was free space before so there
is no relevant difference to the MBR.
It seems like something is checking that the MBR and GPT match (at least
a little).
In any case, it would be great to get a specific answer rather than just
hacking at it. :-)
Thanks for the tips,
...Duane
