For example, verify you are not using a 32bit CD instead of a 64bit CD. You need a 64bit kernel to run 64bit code, so check your architecture. Assuming you mounted your system to be chrooted in /media/sda1, to determine the architecture you can: ls /media/sda1/* if you see lib64 in the output, it's probably a 64bit system share|improve this answer edited Jul 11 '11 at 9:36 4levels 1135 answered Nov 21 '10 at 11:30 Grand Oxymore 3491510 It is but still cannot chroot –Starx Mar 29 '12 at 10:03 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote The error means that your jail (/mnt/temp) does not contain a bash shell, or does not contain the libraries required to ru

I've seen that it's possible to do using static qemu by copying the binary into http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/41889/how-can-i-chroot-into-a-filesystem-with-a-different-architechture the chroot system: $ cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm archarm-chroot/usr/bin But despite this I always get the following error: chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/bash’: Exec format error I know this means that the architectures differ. Am I doing something wrong? chroot qemu arch-arm share|improve this question edited Mar 11 '15 at 20:46 jasonwryan 34.8k983133 asked Jun 28 '12 at 22:33 Jivings 4151311 1 You have to configure binfmt first, have a look at wiki.debian.org/QemuUserEmulation for a quiet short introduction. An example for configuring binfmt_misc can be found at svn.kju-app.org/trunk/qemu/qemu/qemu-binfmt-conf.sh –Ulrich Dangel Jun 28 '12 at 23:00 Qemu static packages don't appear to be in the Arch repositories. –Jivings Jun 28 '12 at 23:04 1 Sorry i don't use arch, but you should probably be able to build a static qemu package by adding -static to the linker options –Ulrich Dangel Jun 28 '12 at 23:07 add a comment| 6 Answers 6 active oldest votes up vote 11 down vote accepted You cannot chroot into different architecture. By chrooting, you are executing the binaries (from the chroot) on your architecture. Executing ARM binaries on x86 (and x86_64 in that matter) would lead t

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the installer using any available means (CDROM, DVD, http, ftp, or nfs) with the rescue command-line parameter 2. If doing a network installation, specify the remote installation source for grabbing stage2 anaconda (e.g. nfs, http, or ftp) 3. Instruct anaconda to scan your disks for existing installations 4. Select "OK" to mount into /mnt/sysimage for your existing installation 5. execute 'chroot /mnt/sysimage/' in shell. Actual results: bash-4.0#chroot /mnt/sysimage/ chroot: cannot run command '/bin/sh': Exec format error Expected results: change the root partition of the rescue mode environment to the root partition of your file system successfully. Additional info: Comment 1 James Laska 2009-08-14 08:49:56 EDT I wonder if this is a result of using an i386 rescue image on a system installed with x86_64? Comment 2 Andy Lindeberg 2009-08-14 09:26:01 EDT I would imagine so. Can you try with an image from the right architecture? Comment 3 He Rui 2009-08-24 05:13:39 EDT Oh sorry, i did use an i386 image to rescue the x86_64 system. Today I tested f12-Alp

Its dual boot with windows and ubuntu. It fails to find OS, isntead of goijng to grub. It just stats loading operating system....boot error I am not sure why because it worked last night, but i didnt do anything change wise. So i got a live cd to reinstall grub the error i get when i try to chroot into my os from the live cd is chroot: failed to run command '/bin/bash': Exec format error the commands to chroot i am using are Code: sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt sudo mount -t proc none /mnt/proc sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys sudo chroot /mnt sda5 is my linux partition This has always worked for me before. I am not sure why it cannot find bash? EDIT: i searched online and found someone else said that it was a result of 32/62 bit conflict. The live cd is a 64 bit, so then i tried a 32 bit live cd, and got the same thing. So its not that. EDIT2 I am actually selling this computer. The person that wants it only wants windows, but does not care if linux is installed. So another question is there a way to remove the partition of linux and have windows boot as normal without grub? What would be hte process. I would not want to remove linux and then not be able to have a linux os on to fix grub, etc. and not be able to boot even windows. However i cant get into windows to fix windows boot loader, because grub
