chroot failed to run command

[Liquidpaper]

Hi,
I am trying to chroot from porteus to a slack VM client over PXE and I mounted:

Code: Select all

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount -o bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts
mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys

chroot /mnt /bin/bash

chroot: failed to run command '/bin/bash': no such file or directory

I check /bin/bash and *bash is there

Did I miss something? I did that with ubuntu live and every time worked flawlessly. Thanks, guys!

FWIW

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ chroot /bin/bash
chroot: cannot change root directory to '/bin/bash': Not a directory
guest@porteus:~$ chroot /mnt /bin/bash
chroot: cannot change root directory to '/mnt': Operation not permitted
guest@porteus:~$

thanks for reproducing it, Ed. Firstly you do not have a jail /bin/bash to go in so the error is legitimate, secondly based on first + you do not have a mounted point /mnt and lastly, you are not root, legitimate output again.

this is what i use for the mount of dd image for the software upgrade:/mnt/arch is only a directory that i use for... slackware environment

mount -o bind /proc /mnt/arch/proc
mount -o bind /sys /mnt/arch/sys
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/arch/dev
mount -o bind /tmp /mnt/arch/tmp
mount --bind /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/arch/etc/resolv.conf
chroot /mnt/arch /bin/bash -l

I know gents, I used hundreds of times before and this is the first time when fails. Actually this is a machine (host) I never chrooted from before. But machine should be kind of neutral (of course x64) because I am in a VBOX.
