Ubuntu Installation :: Grub And 9.04 - Error "invalid Command" Or "invalid Execution Format"

Aug 16, 2011

Bottom Line: Dvd Drive died in my toshiba laptop and it was replaced (not before tech for some reason reformatted the Win7 partition... which was 100% un-needed, but thats beside the point now. I redid win7 (the tech installed vista) and am TRYING to "redo grub". Facts: The Slackware AND Ubuntu Partitions ARE STILL THERE and when i use SuperGrub Boot CD (which doesn't restore my grub by itself) to boot into slackware, i can see ALL THE CONTENT of both Linuxes still there including grub on ubuntu partition

(Tri-Boot: Ubuntu, Slackware, and WIn7) I had it working for two years or so, SO i know this "setup" works fine. I am A) Trying to do this as simply as possible. B) Trying to avoid the need to download a 800MB ISO (as seen for this issue on this forum) and trying not to have to reformat Ubuntu Partition (though I have the .Debs I have downloaded for it backed up ... all 1.7GB of them) I have /dev/sda1 as win7, /dev/sda2 as Slack and /dev/sda3 as Ubuntu (which contains Grub Legacy).. Every command I do seems to result in an error like "invalid command" or "invalid Execution format " (i think that second one is right) type errors. I compiled (awhile back) a few kernels for Slackware, but feel goofy that I cant figure what i this out (what i thought was going to be a "2 minute" fix)

Ubuntu :: Grub Error 13 Invalid Or Unsupported Executable Format

Jul 22, 2010

A few days ago I booted up my computer as normal and loaded vista. It loaded fine, but then froze at the login window. I restarted my computer but this time when I tried to load vista I got the "Error 13" message. Ubuntu still loads up fine however.

I'm fairly certain that I'm using Grub - Legacy, and since most posts that I see post the contents of the menu.lst file, I will too

Code: # menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
# grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.

Installation :: Can't Boot Windows (GRUB) / Invalid Or Unsupported Executable Format?

Feb 1, 2010

On my Laptop is an 80 GB HD. I installed Windows XP first (at this point it worked perfectly) then installed on the same HD, but on other partitions Archlinux.

The whole thing looks like this now:

/dev/sda1 <--- Windows xp
/dev/sda2 <--- arch linux (/, etc, etc^^)
/dev/sda3 <--- homes
/dev/sda4 <--- boot partition (grub)

(I got no SWAP partition, I got 4gb RAM (well can only use 3, since my system doesn't support 64bit), and my friend told me there's no absolute need for a a swap :>)

Arch Linux is booting perfectly (and very fast), but Windows XP doesn't want to boot anymore :>
(Just if it's from any importance: In the partition program I took the "bootable" flag away from my XP Partition and set it to sda4 - I thought I need to do that, but now I'm not so sure anymore :P )

My entry in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like this (I also tried various others)

title Windows
root (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1

When I boot and choose the Windows XP in the GRUB boot menu, the following message appears:

error 13: invalid or unsupported executable format

When I set root(hd0,1) to root(hd0,0) (what seemed the most logical to me) and boot again selecting the windows xp, then the GRUB cosole appears.

So what did I do wrong - or better said: what should I do now?

CentOS 5 :: Booting CentOS V5.2 Fails With GRUB Error 13: Invalid Executable Format?

May 5, 2009

I'm trying to install a dual booting machine with OpenSUSE v11.1 32bit and CentOS v5.2 64bit. I installed OpenSUSE first and allowed it to install and configure grub in the MBR and after that I wanted to proceed with CentOS v5.2. The installation went fine with two notable exceptions:- when I had to configure grub installation parameters, CentOS offered me only 2 solutions: either install it on the MBR of the first hard disk or not installing it at all. Other distributions are more flexible allowing you to install it in the boot sector of the root partition for example. Because I didn't want to ruin the existent grub onfiguration, I reluctantly accepted not to install it for CentOS assuming that I could manually configure the entry later in grub's menu.lst file.

- when I was presented with the options for software components installation, I've clicked on virtualization category/function because I intend to use the machine as a VMware host. There was no guidance on screen at that point and I blindly assumed that by choosing the virtualization function I would get necessary tools and drivers that will help me further on. It seems that this was a wrong move as you can see it below.

After completing the installation, I tried to search for a template or guiding on how the menu entry in menu.lst should look like but the grub directory was empty, not surprisingly because I've told CentOS earlier not to install it. Using the files in the /boot directory from the CentOS installation I tried to improvise a menu entry but it's not working. The boot stops with famous Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format. Using the file command to check what kind of files I'm trying to load as kernels I'm getting :

marte:~ # file /mnt/vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.el5xen

Ubuntu / Apple :: Error 13 - Invalid Or Unsupported Executable Format

May 16, 2010

I've been googling all afternoon to fix this error I get. The situation is as follows: I have multiple harddrives (3x320gb and 1x160gb) all on the SATA interface. One of these drives contains Windows, and the rest I use for programs and downloads. I've installed Ubuntu 9.04 from a USB-stick using the installer's partitioner to make some room for Ubuntu (Ext4 filesystem). I've tried Ubuntu and SUSE in the past.

Ubuntu Servers :: Error 13: Invalid Or Un Supported Executable Format?

Aug 4, 2010

Ubuntu 9.04 server (64bit)
8GB
(2) 320 WD HDD - RAID 1

After coming home one evening I found my server was turned off. My suspicions lead me to believe we had a storm and the power went off, then the UPS went off and finally at that point the server went off too. I think my server was set to allow security updates. After it turned of and restarted it seems it made a change to Grub and upgraded it to Grub2. In doing so I now get the following message:

Error 13: Invalid or un supported executable format

I have tried to do the following:

This solved the problem for me, from > url

Quote:boot from the live medium and chroot into the Linux installation:

$ sudo mkdir /mnt/linux
$ sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /mnt/linux

Then, the following command should resolve the issue. :

$ sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda

General :: Booting Into Kernel - Error 13: Invalid Or Unsupported Executable Format

Sep 13, 2010

I've been playing around with trying to assemble a bare-bones Linux system on a disk.img file through a loop device. I compiled the most recent stable kernel and then copied it onto the root partition in the image. When I try to boot up into the image using qemu, grub gives me this:


Code:
Booting 'tiny'
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/vmlinux
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format

Press any key to continue... I am confused because I compiled the kernel with 'make bzImage', and the architecture hasn't changed (qemu on the same machine used to build the kernel). So it should be bzImage format. Is that what this Error 13 means, or could it means something else is wrong...?

OpenSUSE Install :: Invalid Module Format - FATAL: Error Inserting P4_clockmod

CentOS 5 :: Died, Kernel File Not Found \ Get:Error 13: Invalid Or Unsupported Executable Format?

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Linksys WUSB600N (rt2870) - Insmod: Error Inserting 'rt2870sta.ko': -1 Invalid Module Format

May 24, 2009

I'm new to openSUSE and as a matter of fact, to linux too. I've got a Linksys WUSB600N wireless adapter which used to work fine with some live versions of linux that I was testing out before moving onto suse... Each time, upon booting using live CDs, I used to copy the driver I had downloaded from:

SpeedShare - Download rt2870-kernel-2.6.24-nemesis.tar.bz2

Then 'make' and get into the driver's os/linux directory to load the driver using 'insmod rt2870sta.ko' Now, upon doing a 'make' and 'make install', followed by the 'insmod rt2870sta.ko', I get the error saying:

insmod: error inserting 'rt2870sta.ko': -1 Invalid module format

I tried doing 'modprobe -rv rt2870sta' and didn't get any error messages. But while doing 'modprobe -v', this error shows up: insmod /lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-default/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2870sta.ko

Programming :: KSH - Script Error - Invalid Command ?

Aug 3, 2010

Essentially my ksh script calls a program and passes some commands. It's entering the program just fine, but when it passes the commands it gets "invalid command" error, and loops for a bit.

When I run all the steps manually the program works fine. I turned debug on and see that it enters the program, cmbview, but for whatever reason, it fails on any command that it tries to parse.

Tried running it in a ksh shell, same error. Tried running it as bash shell, same error.

The cmbview exe works and the following commands work, so I can only assume its something with the script parsing the commands.

Ubuntu Installation :: 11.04 - Unable To Boot - Invalid Command

May 24, 2011

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04LTS on my computer and realized I wanted to give 11.04 a try. So, using the Update Manager both times, I applied all updates then upgraded to 10.10 then to 11.04.

Here's where the problem starts. Grub loads fine. I choose Ubuntu. I briefly get a purple splash screen then a black screen with some text that looks like Ubuntu is trying to load (I've attached a picture of this screen). This screen flashes a couple times then stays up and nothing happens afterwards. I can input text and commands but I get no response. Not even an "invalid command". The only thing I can do is press CTRL+ALT+DEL and my computer will reboot.

I have Ubuntu installed alongside Windows 7 on a 50Gb partition (plenty right?), AMD 64-bit dual core processor, and an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card. This is on an HP Pavilion dv3 laptop.

General :: Invalid Format When Using TV As Monitor - Ubuntu 10.04?

I have an old Dell Optiplex GX240 running Windows XP hooked up to my Olevia HDTV. I'd like to format this computer and install Ubuntu 10.04.After burning the Ubuntu install disk, I hook the computer to the tv via HDMI and reboot to the CDROM but upon booting I receive an 'Invalid Format' error and no video is shown.I did some searching - there is very little info about this problem. This post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1063217 seems to indicate that the solution is to hook up the computer to an old CRT monitor, then after the computer has booted, switch the HDMI cable to the tv.This solution is unsatisfactory. Does anyone have experience with this problem? Is there another way to get around this problem?
