Using msdos partition tables.

Isn't it ef00?

That's what I confirmed succeeding in my entreprise :)

Because what I finally did is install a fresh Debian on another device
(using GPT) and the ACPI errors still were there.

I used the opportunity of having another Debian to convert my sda disk
to GPT tables, and change the BIOS setting to UEFI only (just for the
sake of it). So all my disk have a GPT partition table except for the 3
ones for the RAID1 array. Not sure whether I can use the same
manipulations to convert them to GPT also. But since they work fine, I
might leave it as it is.

I used http://www.linuxtopic.com/2017/08/convert-mbr-to-gpt.html to help
me, might be useful to others.

Thanks for time taken to answer.

Best,
Steve
