Description claire robinson 2013-01-15 17:22:10 CET

I have a previous installation of 3beta2 64 in vbox and testing 3beta2 32 DVD

Rescue System from grub menu

Reinstall bootloader

various insmod failure whiz past which may be not relevant but the actual bootloader installation fails at the end.

grub failed: exec of sh failed: Exec format error

It then shows it failed with error 128 in a nice curses box before returning the the menu.

I got some screenshots of the whole process which I'll attach.

This is expected: 32 byt system cannot repair 64bit system.
We should maybe detect the arch and warn about mismatch.
