My last Linux install was RedHat 5.3, a decade ago :-). We first freed 20G of disk to make room for Linux. No issue. Then we tried installing to disk from Fedora-8-x86_64-DVD, but this failed for unknown reasons (the
Invalid Or Unsupported Executable Format Grub4dos
last messages seem to indicate problems with /dev/sda -- it also made Vista slow to start until we zapped the two partitions Fedora had created in the freed space). So we decide to try and install to a 4G flash drive instead, and from a live CD. We booted from Fedora-8-Live-x86_64, no problem, then ran the "Install do disk". This ran to completion with no apparent problem. I hadn't yet understood much about GRUB, so I don't know exactly what I answered, but I avoided the HDD's MBR. This created two partitions on the flash drive: ~200M (/boot) and 3.7G (LVM -- with no swap). The resulting /boot can be mounted from the live CD (as /dev/sdb1). Then, in Vista, we added the /boot partition using EasyBCD. Given what happens next, this must be where GRUB was installed (and not the MBR of the flash drive). On rebooting, Vista's boot environment presents us with both choices. If I select Linux, I end up with the "grub>" prompt after an error message about not being able to boot. But there I can't get the kernel loaded. grub> root (hd0,0) grub> kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 This last command gives: Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format So obviously I am finding the kernel in the /boot partition. Other names give "File not found". I rebooted from the live CD, and ran cksum on the kernel in my flash drive, and o

I installed OpenSUSE first and allowed it to install and configure grub http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=179808 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 http://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13361 you to install it in the boot sector of the root partition for example. Because I didn't want to ruin the existent grub configuration, 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
jmak Member Registered: 2008-12-21 Posts: 394 Error 13, invalid or unsupported executable format[SOLVED] Hello,I've just finished fixing the partition issue in the morning with much help https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=144707 from this forum community and now I have another one. I've installed arch-enlightenment desktop on a separate partition and grub can't start the distro. I get “Error 13, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21215117/what-is-the-solution-for-error-13-invalid-or-unsupported-executable-format invalid or unsupported executable format” message.This is all the more surprising because chainloader +1 never failed me before. I have also Ubuntu installed and arch execute perfectly chainloader error 13 +1 with ubuntu – no problem, only arch can't start arch. Interesting. Here is the menulist to make clearer what I mean.# (0) Arch Linux title Arch Linux root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda1 ro initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img # (1) Arch Linux title Arch Linux Fallback root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda1 ro initrd /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img title Ubuntu root (hd0,1) chainloader invalid or unsupported +1 title Arch Enlightenment root (hd0,2) chainloader +1Lots of people having this problem but my search found no usable solution to this problem. Now I have arch-enlightenment installed by I can't start it.

The only times I can recall seeing this is if there was something wrong with the kernel or I had done something by mistake.What you might want to do to eliminate most possibilities is to chroot from an Arch live CD and run mkinitcpio:mkinitcpio -p linuxBe sure your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf has the appropriate hooks for your system, otherwise you might have a working kernel but it won't boot (especially if you're using LVM and forget the LVM hook).This may not be of much help, but it'll be a start to figure out what went wrong.
