XFS on GPT boot partition
Alpine fails to boot using syslinux when disk is GPT partitioned and boot partition uses XFS.
These setups work:
MBR + XFS (boot) + XFS (root)
GPT + ext4 (boot) + XFS (root)
This fails (results in “Missing OS” message):
GPT + XFS (boot) + XFS (root)
I have tried disabling sparse inodes when creating the XFS boot partition, as the default behavior for this was recently changed, but this had no effect.
Environment: VM (SeaBIOS) under KVM. I have tried both the standard and virt ISOs.
I lack the knowledge to proceed in troubleshooting this and would appreciate help.
