Basically the server you are running now is unable to read the data
files you have. This is to do with the way the postgresql binaries have
been compiled.
My first guess is that the new postgresql binaries are 64 bit but the
old install was 32 bit. (I don't actually know the conditions for the
MAXALIGN value)
Have you reinstalled the same version of ubuntu? (and postgresql) I am
assuming it is on the same hardware.
Did you get the same postgresql package or did you build from source?
If you built from source before you need to assign the same ./configure
options as you did previously.
