I had installed GLIM on one of my USB sticks, but I could not boot from it. Either I got a grub rescue shell or I got only a blinking cursor, before the selection, which iso to boot.
I tried reinstalling. not possible:

Found partition with label 'GLIM' : /dev/sdh1
Found block device where to install GRUB2 : /dev/sdh
Found mount point for filesystem : /mnt
Install for EFI in addition to standard BIOS? (Y/n) y
Ready to install GLIM. Continue? (Y/n) y
Running grub-install --target=i386-pc --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sdh (with sudo) ...
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible.
grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists.
ERROR: grub-install returned with an error exit status.

So these are two issues in one, yes, but I tink they are kind of related to each other, so I keep them as one. No differences, if I enable or disable EFI support during the installation.
I will use another program until this works again.

If you still have this issue: your USB stick seems to be partitioned with a GPT. Try to reformat it to MBR. You may have to explicitly erase the GPT table.

Eu estou tentando atualizar meu linuxmint, que até, então, está mal configurado, pois eu exclui os arquivos de configuração do usuário root. Agora tento voltar tudo novamente com outra instalação. Realmente não consigo fazer este pendrive usb, pois não consigo achar o diretório do grub2(grub) ou debian(ubuntu) e fazer a configuração necessária. Fiz o subdiretório do iso mas não funcionou, não entendo, não estou conseguindo fazer este upgrade.

I used MBR in the past and it seems working, but I actually wanted GPT. Is there any solutions to successfully apply glim on GPT?
