Re: Converter 6 - Partition number must be set for the boot volume

Some more information here...

 

I was able to use a Linux rescue disk to boot on the VM and see the drive.  This disk has LVM, and if I try to boot it on its own, I get "operating system not found", which seems to indicate to me that it is never getting to GRUB.

 

I tried removing the virtual disk from the VM and chose to keep the vmdk file, then added a new disk and pointed to this same vmdk file, with no change.

 

If I just try to do grub-install /dev/sda, I get "/dev/sda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive".

 

I have attached the output of fdisk -l - forgive the screen caps, I am not able to capture text from the VMWare console window.  Not sure what to try next.  Thanks.
