I am using a 200GB VM HDD and my Karmic install in the VM was amd64. I just happened to run across this bug report for Debian which shows same invalid magic number error and talks about Bochs BIOS patch using 32bit computation.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=532202#10 I wonder if that patch is in KVM Bochs BIOS? Or if there is still 128GB limitation. And would that cause the magic number error? ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #532202 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=532202 -- Ubuntu Server 9.10 (karmic): grub2: error: invalid magic number https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/487689 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
