Chroot Failed To Run Command /bin/bash' Exec Format Error Gentoo
I am getting an error: chroot: failed to run command chroot failed to run command /bin/sh no such file or directory ‘/bin/bash’: Exec format error while attempting to follow wiki topic "Remastering the Install ISO"My environment
Chroot Into Different Architecture
is i686 packages on fully updated Arch Linux install.My arch iso is from here http://mirrors.gigenet.com/archlinux/is … 1-dual.isoThe context of the error is precisely as follows, at chroot failed to run command mount exec format error the end:# mkdir /mnt/archiso # mount -t iso9660 -o loop /home/steve/Downloads/archlinux-2015.03.01-dual.iso /mnt/archiso mount: /dev/loop0 is write-protected, mounting read-only $ cd ~ $ mkdir customiso $ cp -a /mnt/archiso/ ./customiso $ cd customiso/archiso/arch/x86_64/ $ unsquashfs airootfs.sfs Parallel unsquashfs: Using 2 processors 1 inodes (262144 blocks) to write [=============================================================================================|] 262144/262144 100% created 1 files cannot execute exec format error in linux created 1 directories created 0 symlinks created 0 devices created 0 fifos # cd /home/steve/customiso/archiso/arch/x86_64/ # mount -o loop squashfs-root/airootfs.img mnt # mount -o loop squashfs-root/airootfs.img mnt # arch-chroot mnt /bin/bash chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/bash’: Exec format errorFYI, I have read this info https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ch … rch-chrootPlus, I use chroot on every install without this trouble. Does this error have anything to do with setarch? Here is what I tried:setarch i686 arch-chroot mnt /bin/bash chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/bash’: Exec format error # setarch x86_64 arch-chroot mnt /bin/bash setarch: x86_64: Unrecognized architectureI verified bash is at /bin/bashThe wiki article directories appear to vary slightly from the downloaded iso, but I adjusted to them, I hope, correctly. Is it even possible to follow the wiki section "Modifying the X86_64 system" on a i686 install? I hope I have not overlooked something simple.Any pointers or tips appreciated as always.Steve.

I believe I need a new initrd But I cannot chroot into /mnt/sysimage from a 'linux rescue'... I get: chroot: cannot execute /bin/sh: Exec format error I get this if I allow the rescue image to find and mount the volume, or if I do it myself.

The answers to the questions represent a possible solution for the problem definitely worth a link, but that doesn't make the question a duplicate of it. –Karl Richter Sep 26 '14 at 17:15 1 The issue for me was that I was using a 32-bit Live CD to mount a 64-bit OS disk and chroot to it. A 32-bit kernel can't run 64-bit bash. The solution was to get a 64-bit Live CD. (The linked duplicate is entirely unrelated.) –Leons Oct 2 '14 at 17:41 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 10 down vote This error means that there is no /bin/bash directory inside chroot. Make sure you point it to where bash (or other shell's) executable is in chroot directory. If you have /mnt/somedir/u

Analysis The error Exec format error means that the binary being executed is made for a different architecture than the environment currently booted. It usually occurs when the system has been booted on a 32-bit system when a 64-bit environment is trying to load. Resolution Reboot the live environment and choose the correct architecture (most LiveCDs support a 64-bit kernel as well as a 32-bit option, although it is not booted by default). Look for entries labeled gentoo64 or linux64 if trying to boot a 64-bit system.
