So i got into situation where i got this after installing ubuntu network iso (mini.iso) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/16.04.1/

And always got this -> http://i.imgur.com/keK2TKy.jpg on KVM

In rescue mode:

a@a:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 12001 GB, 12001209937920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1459064 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 1 8001 83 Linux Warning: Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 1 1442368 11585812927 83 Linux Warning: Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda3 1442368 1459065 134118652 82 Linux Swap / Solaris Warning: Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Is there a way to fix ?

  • First partition starts at 1 and ends at 1?
    Next partition's start overlaps previous's end?

    Modern drives do not have physical cylinder boundaries as firmwares and BIOS/UEFI switched to LBA. Cylinder-head-sector notation exists only for compatibility, which is mapped to LBA. That message needed to be updated 10 years ago.

    There is no way to "fix" it except for re-partitioning. And there's nothing wrong with KVM. That's just grub telling you your partition table is a mess.
