Hi,
I have currently two disks installed on my box (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb). I try to install Debian Jessie on 3TB GPT formatted drive (/dev/sdb). Using partition tool I created the following partitions:
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 2097kB 1049kB bios_grub
2 2097kB 2966GB 2966GB ext4
3 2966GB 3001GB 34.2GB linux-swap(v1)
When I was asked to install boot loader I installed it on /dev/sdb. Finally, when I try to boot from /dev/sdb drive the following message is reported:

Loading Operating System ...
error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'
Entering rescue mode ...
grub rescue>
Any suggestions and/or pointers are greatly apprecited.
Cheers, Andrej

Andrej Kastrin a écrit :
from BIOS on a disk larger than 2 TiB, you should may sure that anything
required to boot (typically /boot) resides below this limit. Your ext4
root partition extends beyond the limit so there is no such guarantee. I
advise to create a small partition for /boot right after the bios_grub
partition.

The BIOS cannot access the part of a disk beyond 2 TiB. So when booting
from BIOS on a disk larger than 2 TiB, you should may sure that anything
required to boot (typically /boot) resides below this limit. Your ext4
root partition extends beyond the limit so there is no such guarantee. I
advise to create a small partition for /boot right after the bios_grub
partition.
