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
Error 13 Invalid Or Unsupported Executable Format Windows 7
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 configuration, error 13 invalid or unsupported executable format windows 7 ultimate 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/mnt/vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.el5xen: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last m

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.

Why is a chainloader necessary? Offline #5 2012-07-09 13:11:36 chamber Member
