I see. In this case have a look at /proc/config (it may be compressed) or |
| 32 |
depending on your version of sysrescuecd and kernel choice, have a look here: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
https://sourceforge.net/p/systemrescuecd/code/ci/master/tree/ |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
then compare your configuration to theirs. The kernel module for GPT is |
| 37 |
'CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION' and it must be built in, rather than as a separate |
| 38 |
module. |
