Hi!
I try to install a Gentoo ARM port to my PC in a chroot enviroment. I installed Qemu and I set up the binfmt support in my kernel. Everything works fine, ARM ELF binaries can be executed on my PC. In the next step I downloaded a stage3 tarball and I unpacked it. Then I mounted the proc and dev directories. Finally I try to chroot to the directory where the tarball was unpacked, but I get the following message:
Code:
chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory


Of course the /bin/bash file exists.
Any suggestion what is the problem in this case?

Is it valid ARM ELF binary ? (file /chrootdir/bin/bash) Can you run it before chrooting ?

I think it's valid:
Code:
mihaly armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabi # file bin/bash
bin/bash: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.16, stripped


I can run it before chrooting, a qemu window appear by the /chrootdir/bin/bash command.

not exactly !
bash is dynamically linked, so "No such file or directory" means that one or more dynamics libraries are missing or wrong (in the chroot-ed tree)

dunno why/what .. just to point you out
