Thank you, yes, that was it.  I did not realise that I had an EFI 
partition, I live and learn.

I think I was thrown a bit by 
/usr/src/linux-source-4.3/block/partitions/Kconfig which says:

config PARTITION_ADVANCED
..
Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which were 
partitioned under an operating system running on a different 
architecture than your Linux system.
..
If unsure, say N.

and

config EFI_PARTITION
..
Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which were 
partitioned using EFI GPT.

As far as I was aware my disk was all partitioned under Linux.

Is there somewhere where I could suggest modifications to the Kconfig?
