[PLUG] Do you have an EFI partition on the hard drive (formatted GPT rather than DOS)?

Mitch,

   From a terminal/console, as root, type (without the quotes) 'fdisk -l' and
you'll see something like this:

Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x4d047bf0

Device     Boot     Start       End   Sectors   Size Id Type
/dev/sda1  *           63 179687024 179686962  85.7G 83 Linux
/dev/sda2       179687025 179879804    192780  94.1M 83 Linux
/dev/sda3       179879805 211126229  31246425  14.9G 82 Linux swap

  The disklable type (on this host) is dos; you want to see gpt instead. And
/dev/sda1 should be type efi (or something really similar to that).
