[arch-general] Can't Install GRUB on a GPT Formatted Disk

[Aaron Schaefer]

I'm trying to get GRUB installed on a pure GPT disk (I didn't know it
was best to make a hybrid MBR/GPT), and it looks like a patch was
added back in March 2008 for this
(http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9864), but it continues to fail.

My layout is as follows on the drive:

/dev/sda1  /boot
/dev/sda2  LVM system_vg
/dev/sdb1 LVM data_vg

# lvs
  LV      VG        Attr   LSize
  home_lv data_vg   -wi-ao 500.00GB
  root_lv system_vg -wi-ao  64.00GB
  swap_lv system_vg -wc-ao   2.00GB
  var_lv  system_vg -wi-ao  12.00GB

# grub
grub> device (hd0) /dev/sda
grub> root (hd0,0)
 Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xee
grub> setup (hd0)

Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
grub> quit

Any thoughts?
