Under a different EFI bootloader, parted sets the wrong GPT partition 'types' (type is really a misnomer, but it's a familiar term) and the Linux system won't boot. Has something to do with the hidden EFI boot partition and that there really can only be one of them. Here's a partition print from a working OS X/F-14 dual boot system (with grub installed to /dev/sda4, in this case, and not to the protective MBR; there's something else there....), using the 'gdisk' partitioning utility: [root@localhost ~]# gdisk /dev/sda GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.1 Partition table scan: MBR: protective BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
