Linux Install on Mac. macOS asks to Initialize
Install of Linux on Mac went fine, but I want to get rid of the initialize unreadable popup for the disk after macOS boots. Tried adding the UUIDs in the fstab file but it did not work.
The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.
Initialize... | Ignore | Eject
Do I need the UUID of the disk itself? It's an 80 GB disk dedicated to Linux with 3 partition.
One 1 MB Bios Boot Partition, an EXT4 of 60 GB for Linux Filesystem and a Linux Swap of 15 GB.
I had added the UUIDs of the the three partition as that was all I could get of them.

Having switched the installations grub to EFI and having shrunk the EXT4 partition by 200 mb, creating a fat 32 partition and naming it EFI, the message does not show up anymore.
Additionally, the Nvidia driver works as well in EFI mode. I would not expect though that any of the non bios version drivers would work. 340 is the one marked "bios".
