Hi,

Im trying to install umbrel on a minipc after upgrading the drive, and Im getting the following error:

umbrel os error run-init:/sbin/init: exec format error

I tried from different usb sticks, prepared on ballena, ventoy, etc and theres no way to start the installation. Even tried to rewrite into the old SSDs installation to have the same exact config as before, but same error. Had no issues the first time on same minipc. Any help would be appretiated. Thanks!

Their iso is in the wrong format. That is why its messed up. I made a .img file but I would need a place to post it since the upload limit is 25MB on the github

But if you have a linux computer, you can convert it to the correct format and make a usb image file for that.

you do:

dd if=umbrelos-amd64-usb-installer.iso of=umbrelos-amd64-usb-installer.img status=progress

Than you.
