[Bug 1057014] [NEW] invalid arch-independent ELF magic

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Public bug reported:

This could actually be an issue with usb-creator or with the image
itself.

After running usb-creator on a USB key formatted with a GPT partition
table (to be able to boot it via UEFI), grub starts to a command line,
has very few modules loaded and is unable to load new modules; returning
with the error message "error: invalid arch-independent ELF magic." when
trying to add most modules (other simply fail to find symbols).

It's to be noted that usb-creator crashed somewhere during or
immediately after running grub; see bug 1057013.

Works properly when burning to a CD/DVD.

** Affects: grub (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
