Antix_john
Hi guys, after installing Antix 22 on my old Celeron 700 and 512 mb ram… I have a problem – system doesnt boot from my HDD… There is an “error: invalid arch-independent ELF magic” what should I do? I AM quite new to Linux…
When I run IT from live CD everything runs ok…and I did just default install, formating whole 80 GB od disk spacer for Antix.
How van I solve it?RJP
Did you install grub into mbr or partition?
To check:
sudo fdisk -l 2>/dev/null | egrep "Disk /|/dev/" | sed "s#^/dev/#Part /dev/#" | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/://' | xargs -n1 -iX sudo sh -c "dd if=X count=1 2>/dev/null | grep GRUB > /dev/null && echo Grub found: X || echo no Grub: X"BobC
When you installed, what option did you take for installing grub? I would probably have installed to mbr.
I can’t comment on RJP’s idea above, but did you try the boot repair program? You can boot the CD and run it from the last tab of the Control Centre to fix the hard drive boot.

It is a safe command. 😉

does default install entire drive ask for grub location decision?
or is it automatic with entire drive install?in any event booting a live media antiX and use grub menu grub bootloader, boot rescue menus, can probe and select start the systems? as says BobC. demo centre Boot Repair
