Exec format error upon boot on fresh install
by fredmyra from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DJDX)
Hi!
I am have just installed - for the first time, and after many many mistakes, my first Slackware - 14.2 64 on a San Disk Cruiser usb stick, throuh my Fujitsu Esprimo E7935, with a Corel2 Duo E8500 and 8 Gb ram, from a DVD burned from an iso dowsloaded this week.
I did this after using Slackware LIve (Mate) in 2 of my computers, for most of my everyday needs, for a couple months.
Immediately upon concluding the installation - having chosen not to install lilo - and exiting setup i did:
1 - chroot /mnt
2- ran mkinitrd -c -k 4.4.14 -m ext4 -f ext4 -r /dev/sdb3
got a message that modules jbd2.ko,mbcache.ko and a third one (maybe ext4?) had been added
3- grub-install --target=i386-pc -dev-sdb
got "no errors"
4- added > GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBE=true < to /etc/default/grub
5- ran lsblk and checked that none of the partitions in the computer's HD were mounted
6 - ran grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
and got message that confirmed presence of initrd, and surprisingly to me that some of the OSes installed on the hd had been found, and the error message which I enclose as a .jpeg file
At this point I have no other idea than asking for help.
Greetings!
