Mine looks similar to the above. Partition table is msdos, I have different
partitions, but the number 1 is my /boot, where grub is installed, and it shows
as type ext2.
However, when I try to boot it grub says
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xee
and won't load /vmlinuz
Googling this says it is a GUID partition table (gpt), in spite of what parted
said???
