Bug Description
Binary package hint: casper
I have two hard drives.
The first has Windows 2008 installed on it.
I booted the Ubuntu 8.04.1 amd64 CD and installed Ubunto on the second drive (by selectecing "Use entire drive" option in the partitioner).
After installation, on boot I get a boot menu with 3 entries for Ubuntu (regular, recovery and memtest) followed by a "Boot Vista/Longhorn" entry.
When selecting the Vista entry I get this error :
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format
Press any key to continue...
After pressing any key, I am back in the boot menu.
The entries for Ubuntu work.
