 Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2018 6:18 pm Post subject: Can't chroot during installation no /bin/bash |
 |
|
The exact message is "chroot: failed to run command '/bin/bash': no such file or directory"
while I'm still learning a lot, I'm sure I've followed the handbook perfectly and using ls I can see /mnt/gentoo/bin/bash exists and from searching I've found that the issue might be with lib64, which is also in /mnt/gentoo so at this point I'm completely lost. |

I'd try checking the file permissions
| Code: | | ls -l /mnt/gentoo/bin/bash |
-rwxr-xr-x
And check for corruption
| Code: | | file /mnt/gentoo/bin/bash |

nothing wrong with the permissions and I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for with the results of the file command but nothing seems out of the ordinary |

wildpjah,
Is there anything in /mnt/gentoo/dev and/or /mnt/gentoo/proc
They should both be populated.
-- edit --
bash needs
| Code: | $ lddtree /bin/bash
/bin/bash (interpreter => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2)
libreadline.so.7 => /lib64/libreadline.so.7
libncurses.so.6 => /lib64/libncurses.so.6
libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6
|
as its dynamically linked. They all need to be in the chroot.

both directories are full of files and my bash is almost exactly the dame. The only difference is the first line also says "/usr/bin/lddtree: line 163: strings:command not found"
if that's relevant |

yes I've double and tripple checked I followed the handbook perfectly when mounting.
| Code: | | mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/gentoo |
and /dev/sda4 is my root partition |

Permissions would not cause that error message.
wildpjah: what is the full output of ldd /bin/bash /mnt/gentoo/bin/bash ; cd /mnt/gentoo && ls -l bin/bash lib64/libreadline.so.* lib64/libc.so.* lib64/libncurses.so.* lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.*? |

Yes, you're right. it would give a more descriptive error at least.  |

Now that you've had a break. Try remounting and chroot again, everything will still be there and you can pick up where you left off. Don't give up yet. |
