What does improperly nested mean: overlapping, or something else? How to resolve this problem? According to fdisk the sda1 and sda3 partitions are _not_ overlapping: Additionally, does the same warning have to be repeated so many times for every kernel entry???It did not say they overlapped. It said it found a partition table inside sda3 which is improper given it is not an extended partition (sda4 is).
I'm pretty sure that the warning message ``improperly nested'' really is about partition nesting as discussed e.g. in [1]. It's not about extended partitions. But I agree that the problem at hand may come from this:
If so, then there is a chance that the first sector of sda3 contains the old extended partition table, and grub probe might be detecting that.
