I increased the size of a partition (After modifying the size of an EBS Volume)

Prior to resizing I got the following warning:

GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.1

Partition table scan:
  MBR: MBR only
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: not present


***************************************************************
Found invalid GPT and valid MBR; converting MBR to GPT format
in memory. THIS OPERATION IS POTENTIALLY DESTRUCTIVE! Exit by
typing 'q' if you don't want to convert your MBR partitions
to GPT format!
***************************************************************

Converting to GPT seemed to do a little damage.

The partition resize seems to be successful, I can mount and access files.

Post resize, I can no longer boot the machine using that EBS volume, the volumes does not seem to be a boot volume.

The machine hangs on boot:

Here's the disk info, let me know if you need to see anything else

$ lsblk
NAME    MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
xvda    202:0    0   50G  0 disk
└─xvda1 202:1    0   50G  0 part /
xvdf    202:80   0  120G  0 disk
└─xvdf1 202:81   0  120G  0 part
$ sudo gdisk /dev/xvdf
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.1

Partition table scan:
  MBR: protective
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.

How can I restore the boot functionality to that disk?

Didnt find a solution to the broken mbr/gpt boot data.

Instead I re-did the resize process with parted instead of gdisk (using a snapshot backup).
