Ubuntu Installation :: Reboot After Update - Invalid Magic Number Error
Jan 7, 2010This has to be the sixth time I am going to have to reinstall Ubuntu (Can't get enough of that Linux greatness) in the past 6 months. I just don't understand what exactly is wrong, I don't install anything extra (but the ubuntu restricted extras) yet updates that ask me to reboot will take me to a GRUB command line screen and trying to boot through the command line interface gives me an, "Invalid Magic Number", error.
There should be an official tool for when problems like this come up, so that users like me can easily move their files off their HDD before reinstalling. I didn't come here to rant but, does anyone know what may be causing this everytime, how it can be avoided maybe even how to deal with the Magic Number error and boot in (I wouldn't mind typing in the commands every time BTW)?

General :: Adding A Kernel In GRUB For Kubuntu 9.10: Invalid Magic Number
Apr 19, 2010I've compiled and added a kernel in Gentoo before. It doesn't seem to go quite as smoothly in Kubuntu 9.10 These are the steps I followed: I unpacked the kernel in /usr/src and ran make && make modules_install succesfully. Then I copied the kernel in arch/x86/boot/bzImage to /boot/bzImage-2.6.32 This entry is the one given by Kubuntu:
Code:
menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic" {
recordfail=1
if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi
set quiet=1
[code]....
I just read the script that update grub uses. Changed the name of the kernel from xyz to vmlinuz-2.6.32-generic and it worked.
OpenSUSE Install :: Error Message Was 'bad Magic Number, Corrupt Superblock' With A Suggested Command To Try Another Superblock?
May 14, 2011After several crashes during videos it seemed like a good idea to fsck root. Downloaded the latest systemrescuecd and ran it at boot. The error message was 'bad magic number, corrupt superblock' with a suggested command to try another superblock. That failed with the same message. Tried tune2fs to force fsck at boot and got the same message. The drive is less than 6 months old and the installed system is working more or less ok. The command I used was 'fsck.ext4 /dev/sdc2'. What am I doing wrong?

Oct 3, 2010i wanted to see the red hat side of things and do some virtualization with CentOS, so i am trying to dual boot ubuntu 10.04 LTS and CentOS 5.5. the machine is a laptop, toshiba A100 series. what I did was to create the following partitioning scheme via Ubuntu LiveCd
Code:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 19457 156288290+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 1 2103 16892284+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 2104 9988 63336231 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 9995 12623 21117411 83 Linux
/dev/sda8 12624 18800 49616721 83 Linux
/dev/sda9 18801 19457 5277321 82 Linux swap / Solaris
created an extended partition and in there have made sda5 and sda6 as / and home for ubuntu and sda7 and sda8 as / and home for CentOS. and sda9 as swap. I installed ubuntu first and then installed CentOS with no bootloader. Run sudo update-grub through ubuntu and now i have both Ubuntu and CentOS available. But when i select CentOS, i have an error which reads "invalid magic number".
I have grub2 installed, haven't downgraded or done anything to it and the ubuntu install is fresh, one week since i updated to 10.04 from scratch. I have found much contradictory stuff on google, but not something that provides a definite solution and also this post but the second command provided in the solution is one i cannot understand very well and it doesn't seem to work. what I am doing wrong here and how to make this work. I would prefer to do things via Ubuntu since debian stuff is what i am comfortable with and i am installing CentOS to learn not to do work on it.
Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 Wubi Upgrade Seems To Have Corrupted Bash / Error "invalid Magic Number"?
Jan 4, 2011I tried the steps usually offered (modifying the grub.cfg file, replacing the wubildr files), it still wouldn't boot.
I booted in with the LiveCD to try to chroot into the environment and try running 'update-grub'. However, whenever I tried to chroot, it said it could not execute /bin/bash!
Trying to modify the grub commands manually (which originally gave the error: you need to load the kernal first), in the end said "invalid magic number"
There are some configuration things set in this installation I would like to not lose. Is it hopeless?

Hardware :: Always Getting Bad Magic Number In Super-block?
Jul 1, 2010I've been setting up a number of netbooks for friends in a group I belong to. I am installing Ubuntu 10.04 and/or Linux Mint 9 on all of the netbooks. The netbooks are all identical. Everything has seemed OK until yesterday. I tried to set the label on the new disk using: # e2label /dev/sda newlabel The error is Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda. Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
But the filesystem seems fine. It is mounted. It booted up without errors. But all the e2* tools give the same error. So I checked another netbook with an identical fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit. It gives the same error although the system appears to work fine. Next I went and checked my own netbook. It is identical except I swapped out the HDD for an OCZ Vertex SSD. I aligned the partitions and prepared that drive carefully. It seems to work great. But when I ran e2label on it I got the same error message.
All the other installs are fresh, clean, standard installs where I let the installer use the whole disk and do the partitioning automatically. All are using ext4. I did a fresh install of Linux Mint 9 and it has the same error as Ubuntu 10.04. Kubuntu 10.04 on my desktop gives the same error too.
Hardware :: Installing New RAID Card Causes Existing Arrays To Have Bad Magic Number
May 13, 2010I have two SAS RAID controller cards in a Dell server in slots 2 & 3, both with an array hanging off them. I went to install a third card into slot 1, but then when it boots it says two of my sd's have bad magic number in the super-block and it wants me to create an alternative one, which I don't want to do. If i remove the new card, the server boots perfectly like it did before I added the new card. Is the new card trying to control stuff that isn't hooked up to it because its in slot 1, so its confusing RHEL?

Nov 18, 2010I have a hard disk that I would like to completely remove UBUNTU from. There is no other OS on it. UBUNTU is on all of the HD no unused partitions that I can see or other windows system here at all. I would like to completely remove UBUNTU and remove GRUB also. and be able to use this HDD for a windows system. Most of the threads I have read here in the forum relate to removing ubuntu from a dual OS HDD . There is talk of using partition magic or other utility to remove or change the partitions,but most of them are about a dual OS system, whereas I have an HDD with only ubuntu on it. Does UBUNTU have an uninstall program that I can download? Does partition magic remove the Ubuntu OS? Grub?

I tried the following command:apt-get install magicbut it seems there is not such package exists with that name.

Nov 1, 2010Alright so I'm currently in the process of trying to transfer a wubi install of ubuntu to an actual partition using LVPM. I need to use unetbootin with parted magic mounted (not sure if that's the right term) to my hard disk rather than a bootable flash drive. So I set everything up, downloaded parted magic ISO, ran unetbootin and selected the file everything installed smoothly. I then restart my computer and unetbootin is indeed in the boot list but when I select it, it remains at a black screen. I left it at the black screen for about ten minutes and nothing happened. I've tried a few times and nothing.
