(Get the code!)
This morning I reloaded the computer again, selecting gpt versus dos for the partition table. I made the EFI and XFS partitions. The installer did not protest, and the resulting system will not boot. I reloaded it back to a single xfs root partition on a dos partition table, that boots.
Something wrong with gpt partition tables all of a sudden. I use gpt partition table with Xubuntu 20.04 perfectly fine... 500MB EFI partition, the rest as root XFS. Not right that I must now revert to a dos partition table in order to get a test system to boot.
There are the steps of me setting up the gpt trial this morning:
xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ sudo wipefs /dev/sda
DEVICE OFFSET TYPE UUID LABEL
sda 0x1fe dos
xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ sudo wipefs -a -t dos -f /dev/sda
/dev/sda: 2 bytes were erased at offset 0x000001fe (dos): 55 aa
xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ sudo wipefs /dev/sda
xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install mtools
