Subjectchanged laptop disk -> PXE-E61 & PXE-M0F errors / BootDevice Not Found
Message-ID<DGIZ4-6Qf-7@gated-at.bofh.it>
I tried to change my laptop disk following the instructions found at
https://askubuntu.com/questions/260777/how-to-migrate-an-encrypted-lvm-install-to-a-new-disk

I'm not sure I did everything right as there are some mistakes and
not everything is clear.

In particular, with cfdisk, I initially chose the gpt label type
because this was the default, so that I thought that this was OK.
But "grub-install /dev/sdb" complained ("this GPT partition label
contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible.
[...]"). So I changed it to MBR with gdisk as explained on
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/61142/remove-gpt-default-back-to-mbr

Note: /dev/sdb corresponds to the new disk connected via a SATA-USB
adapter for the transfer.

Then "cfdisk /dev/sdb" showed:

                                 Disk: /dev/sdb
           Size: 931.51 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors
                       Label: dos, identifier: 0x00000000

    Device       Boot       Start          End     Sectors   Size  Id Type
    /dev/sdb1                2048      1050623     1048576   512M  83 Linux
    /dev/sdb2             1050624   1953525134  1952474511   931G  8e Linux LVM

This ended up with the following:

# grub-install /dev/sdb
Installing for i386-pc platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.

# update-grub

done

Then I unmounted everything related to /dev/sdb.

But after changing the disk and booted, instead of getting GRUB,
I got PXE-E61 and PXE-M0F errors, and also

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
BootDevice Not Found

Please install an operating system on your hard disk.

Note that the disk itself is recognized since the system allowed me
to do a quick check on it (no errors).

So, what could be wrong?

It looks like you've forgot to mark boot partition (/dev/sdb1 ?) as 
'Active'.
It is necessary to do for DOS\MBR-style partition table, so stage-2 
bootloader could be found during boot process.

You've got PXE-* errors because BIOS tried to boot from network using 
PXE\BOOTP and failed.

I wondered about that just after posting, as cfdisk showed that
/dev/sdb1 didn't have the boot flag (contrary to the current
disk /dev/sda1). But I forgot to check /dev/sdb1 *after* running
grub-install, so I'm not sure. I thought that grub-install should
have done that automatically based on the given information.

I don't have the new disk here with me (I put the current disk
back into the laptop), but I'll check tomorrow.

Thanks.

Yes, this was the issue (among other issues I needed to solve...
in particular, the --exclude rsync options did not behave as intended
since they exclude *all* files and directories with the given name,
not just the ones in the root directory).
