Bug#740504: cdimage.debian.org: Released ISO images have invalid GPT tables

["Thomas Schmitt" <scdbackup@gmx.net>]

Hi,

the GPT header CRC of

  http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso

looks ok now for me and for gdisk of oldstable (which formerly
complained about amd64 ISOs). Now it says:

  GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.1

  Partition table scan:
    MBR: MBR only
    BSD: not present
    APM: not present
    GPT: present

  Found valid MBR and GPT. Which do you want to use?

(I wonder why it does not recognize the APM in the ISO.
 Well, the combination of MBR, GPT, and APM is quite a dirty hack.)


Today i got a report about younger fdisk and gdisk with GRUB2-style
MBR and GPT. Both programs hate the ISO. I will have to find out
what might be wrong there.
ISOLINUX style and GRUB2 style differ: ISOLINUX wants nested mountable
partitions. GRUB2 wants disjoint partitions.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
