I use a Lenova V570 laptop - Installing 11.10 side-by-side with the Windows 7 recovery partitions. I do not have an active Windows 7 install in place, just the factory restore/recovery partitions. On a clean install, leaving the recovery partitions in place, the install completes, but the reboot afterward fails due to the elf magic problem. Running the manual steps from this web site: "http://askubuntu.com/questions/37692/grub-invalid-arch-independent-elf- magic-after-natty-install-on-ssd" worked.
The installer loaded the correct version of grub (I did not have to download a new package). Grub was installed on the proper partition in the installer (Used the Something else option to create /boot - primary, swap - logical, /root - logical, /home - logical). So, why did I have to perform a manual install of grub? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/817157 Title: Thinkpad X120e (UEFI, AMD64) Won't Boot After Update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/817157/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
