Okay.
Please check and post the Setup settings for the disk drive.
Please run and post:
# gdisk -l /dev/sda
root@courgette:/home/mick# gdisk -l /dev/sda
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.9
Caution: invalid backup GPT header, but valid main header; regenerating
backup header from main header.
Warning! One or more CRCs don't match. You should repair the disk!
Main header: OK
Backup header: ERROR
Main partition table: OK
Backup partition table: OK
Partition table scan:
MBR: protective
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: damaged

Caution: Found protective or hybrid MBR and corrupt GPT. Using GPT, but

There's just the one OS on this disk. Possibly my changing the disk from
MBR to GPT caused some error.
I will take everything to bits but I am doing important shit-posting
work.
