Hey guys, I just got a Lenovo G505s and it has an EFI, I put it in legacy support mode and installed arch as i would usually do on a bios based machine. now when I boot grub hangs on loading initial ramdisk and i'm not sure why. Do I have to do a GPT partition and set it up for UEFI or can I work with what I have and what could be freezing up my system

upon adding "insmod efi_gop" and "insmod efi_uga" to grub and then trying to boot i get "error: disk 'hd0,msdos2' not found." why can grub not find the partition.. the partition is marked with the bootable flag and is formatted ext4
