I messed up a spell. Anyone know how to fix it?

You must sacrifice a live Penguin by smashing a window with an apple.
- that makes perfectly sense... thanks.
I still remember when I tried to run a binary on a different architecture and got the message: "Bad elf magic"
- well what else would you expect it to say when you never practice your elf magic?
  
  Reticulating splines
- Goth Tinkerbell with her chemical powders.
- I was there 3000 years ago
- nice
check at ArcaneOverflow

- Hahaha good one. I'll look it up in the ancient penguin libraries.
First you need to put on your robe and wizard hat.
- That's for when the world is in danger. This isn't a serious enough issue for that.
More context please: What happened? What were you doing? What does you setup look like?
- It's an acer laptop i5 GeForce mx 130, basically I updated the linux firmware and put it on suspend but nvidia GPU did it's thing and it didn't wake up from sleep. So I has to power it off directly and it booted up to this.
  
  From the looks of it, grub is grumpy. Do you get this after choosing a boot option? If so, can you try choosing recovery vs regular boot? If not, you may need to get a live USB plugged in and reinstall grub.
  
  Edit: on further searching, this might be a zfs error. Are you using openzfs?
  
  Oh look, another old laptop with Nvidia Optimus having trouble with suspension.
- I think it's a joke OP doesn't need help.
  
  I actually did, but it's fixed now.
Isn't it obvious? Press the key labeled 'Any'
- This one?

  There it is!

- If it were like that it would say "Press the any key".
Judging from that code, it's clearly a Hex.
- How might we address it?
  
  Please contact your local witch.
  
  I don't know, dereference it and find out.
Consult the ancient tome of the Arch Wiki
- Is that for archmages?
  
  Primarily, but lower magicians can likey find some wisdom there as well.
You needed to roll a 13, but you rolled an 8, that's why your spell failed, should work next turn.
Okay guys it's fixed! I had to reboot into an older kernel, that did it. I was kinda panicking, cuz i have to use it for work.
- You and that kernel were both panicking!
- This is really odd, I hit this same issue recently. Booting into an old kernel also fixed it for me. What distro are you using? I'm on Ubuntu.
  
  Maybe it replaces the kernel during reboot. But since i powered it off directly, the magic disappeared.
Jokes aside, you either installed for the wrong architecture, or you're fucked hard.
- Press any key to "exit"
  
  If I needed to press a key with called "any", it would say "Press the any key", for the same reason you say "in the eighth grade".
Allocation is a perfectly valid school of magic
Easy, just refill or replace your soul gems
I got "invalid magic number" when trying to set up grub
- Maybe one of these?

  IDK but it was my fault, I was a noob and was trying to run Ubuntu server from live usb with one (1) month of Linux experience, at least I experimented Idk, that's the point I guess.
roll for 00110010 00110000
Checkmate warlocks
Update: for anyone who's having the nvidia suspend issue and finds this post. Apparently turning off OS prober in the grub config fixes that. Good day, and keep practicing the magic!
