* [[GRUB]](2) requires a 2 MiB "BIOS Boot Partition" (EF02 type code in gdisk and bios_grub flag in GNU Parted) in BIOS systems to embed its {{ic|core.img}} file due to lack of post-MBR embed gap in GPT disks. Runtime GPT support in GRUB(2) is provided by the {{ic|part_gpt}} module. See [[GRUB#GPT_specific_instructions]] for more information.

* [[Syslinux]] requires the {{ic|/boot}} partition to be marked as "Legacy BIOS Bootable" GPT attribute (legacy_boot flag in GNU Parted) to identify the partition containing the
syslinux
boot files by its MBR boot code {{ic|gptmbr.bin}} . See [[Syslinux#GUID_Partition_Table_aka_GPT]] for more information.

* [[GRUB Legacy]], present in the official repositories as {{Pkg|grub}} and in AUR as {{AUR|grub-gfx}}, does not support GPT disks. Fedora's heavily patched GRUB Legacy fork {{AUR|grub-legacy-fedora-git}} contains GPT patches from Intel (tested in Fedora, not tested in Archlinux).
