Reserved BIOS boot area (a.k.a. biosgrub) is no longer available in Ubuntu 20.04.[45] at the stage of partition planning. To fix this, we can preset the 1MB partition type of /dev/sda2 as do not use the partition during partition planning, then change its type code to EF02 later before confirmation of the timezone selection.| Preliminary partition plan under GUI: | ![]() |
![]() |
Preliminary partition plan reported by:
gdisk -l /dev/sda
|
![]() |
![]() |
| Fix | After you select the timezone but BEFORE clicking "continue",
open a terminal and do:
sudo gdisk /dev/sda# print partition list of /dev/sda# change partition type# change type of partition 2# change type of 2nd partition to EF02 (BIOS boot)# write change# confirm change (y/N) and quit gdiskthen continue installation under GUI. |
