Most users has problems to install Android x86 over a hard disk with GUID Partition Table (GPT).

Changing on installer cfdisk to cgdisk will be enough ?

Thanks !

only problem with grub2 is it wants to be the only boot loader, doesn't always work installed to partition.
doesn't play well multiboot. If you only have dos and android It will work great.

A true efi based setup would be superior, perhaps elilo?

ok but the key point is to use of cgdisk. The actual installer uses cfdisk and does not manage GPT partitions
