I had installed GLIM on one of my USB sticks, but I could not boot from it. Either I got a grub rescue shell or I got only a blinking cursor, before the selection, which iso to boot.
I tried reinstalling. not possible:

Found partition with label 'GLIM' : /dev/sdh1
Found block device where to install GRUB2 : /dev/sdh
Found mount point for filesystem : /mnt
Install for EFI in addition to standard BIOS? (Y/n) y
Ready to install GLIM. Continue? (Y/n) y
Running grub-install --target=i386-pc --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sdh (with sudo) ...
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible.
grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists.
ERROR: grub-install returned with an error exit status.

So these are two issues in one, yes, but I tink they are kind of related to each other, so I keep them as one. No differences, if I enable or disable EFI support during the installation.
I will use another program until this works again.
