Bug Description

Hello,
there is a bug in Linux Mint 13 RC 32Bit version
if one starts with boot option libeusb iso-scan/filename=${iso_path}
and that there is a disk formatted with NTFS on the PC
boot fails ...
no problem with versions in 64 Bits

if I edited the files
/sbin/mount.ntfs
/sbin/mount.ntfs-3g
with a hexadecimal file editor init version 32Bits
I see a code that points to the 64-bit libraries ?

this problem still exist in final release (32bit version)

how to fix :
gunzip / cpio extract the initrd.lz
rm /sbin/mount.ntfs
rm /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g
ln -s /sbin/mount.ntfs /bin/ntfs-3g
ln -s /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g /bin/ntfs-39

cpio compress and gzip ,

I can confirm this problem. The /sbin/mount.ntfs and /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g, as still shipped on the 32bit version, are 64bit binaries.
The solution as described by ccwufu works.

How long will it take to replace the ISOs? To list this in the known bugs? Two months and counting...

I mean, thank you for the great work and the usability of Linux Mint. It perhaps would be nice to see this bug mentioned in the Release notes, until a fix is available. That would save many users a lot of pulled hair.
