Hey,
we just uploaded a new beta that you can get from the grml repo (
http://jenkins.grml.org/job/fai-binaries/ ). This one should hopefully
fix the error you have encountered and implement Thomas' suggested disk
config example that looks like this:
disk_config sda fstabkey:uuid disklabel:gpt
primary /boot/efi 512 efi rw
primary / 30000 ext4 rw
Do note the new "efi" partition type. It applies the vFAT filesystem
onto the partition and sets the partition type to EFI System Partition.
We'd appreciate it, if you guys could test it and reported any bugs you
encounter.
Cheers
Kerim
