What happened?

A bug happened!

The error message is as follows:

I have tried to boot with both the latest version of Ventoy and the previous release 1.0.79 which was previously working.

I am quite new to Ventoy so the error may simple but I would appreciate help getting it working.

I tried to boot into both the latest Manjaro release, Ubuntu and Tails.

Try downloading 1.0.79 and pressing Update button. Does it still work?

[steve6375]

P.S. Screenshot shows 1.0.79 ?????

maybe after you update to 1.0.80 you did not run sync and eject before unplugging USB drive?

In that photo I rolled back to the previous version of Ventoy in hopes that this would fix the problem.

Do you know the meaning behind the error message?

I just updated back to the latest version again and the issue persists:

So 1.0.79 and 1.0.80 both fail? It seems to be a memory error. Maybe the system has bad RAM. Run a memory test. Does it give same error on a different system?

[Incognito-01]

I actually ran a complete hardware diagnostics test a few days ago following the same line of thought.

Just out of interest I just rolled back my ventoy version back to 1.0.65 and found that Ventoy is completely functional again.

I found this previous issue which seems to be similar to my case:

https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/1671

This was fixed by the devs with a CI release in the thread, hopefully the devs will be able to fix this issue here too.

OK - May help the devs to run the command on your system so they can see your memory map and try grub2 mode?

When you boot into Ventoy menu, press c to enter grub shell and run vt_efi_dump_rsv_page command and give me the
result.
Try grub2 mode. https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_grub2boot.html

Did you test the 32GB pendrive? It could be a fake. Test it using H2TESTW or FakeFlashTest or fill with video files and then play the first file and the last file to see if they are corrupt.
