[Parted-maintainers] Bug#460153: GPT label loses partitions after reboot

[Paul Szabo]

Looking in

  http://www.coraid.com/support/linux/contrib/chernow/gpt.html

I see:

> ... you must have GPT support on in the kernel. This in under:
> File Systems
>    Partition Types
>      [*] Advanced partition selection
>      [*] EFI GUID Partition support (NEW)
> These must be on! EFI GUID sets the "CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION" flag. ...

Checking my kernel, I do not have CONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED (nor
CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION) set. Will now re-build my kernel and try again.
