 |
|
When I'm trying to chroot I get this error "chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/bash’: Exec format error". It means that the binary being executed is made for a different architecture than the environment currently booted. I booted from Minimal installation CD image for aarch64. When I do file /bin/bash and file /mnt/gentoo/bin/bash I get exact the same output except for the pie executable type:
| Code: |
livecd /mnt/gentoo # file bin/bash
bin/bash: ELF 64-bit MSB pie executable, ARM aarch64 ...
livecd /mnt/gentoo # file /bin/bash
/bin/bash: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, ARM aarch64 ...
|
So what am I supposed to do? |

You most likely installed wrong stage3 file.
By default the arm64 kernel were compiled for little-endian (LSB) so it will not able to support your /mnt/gentoo/bin/bash which is big-endian (MSB)
I think all ARM core by design is bi-endian but most common usage is set to little-endian. |

Yes, I realised that 'be' in the name of stage file I used stands for big-endian (current-stage3-aarch64_be-systemd). The problem is there's no other stage3 file with the same name but without `be`. So I'm not sure what to do about it. |

| No sure where you are looking, but I can see at download page, there are openrc and systemd for current. |

| TYVM guys I checked that the files you mentioned indeed have been compiled as LSB binaries. |
