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 run the bash shell. If you created your jail using something like this: debootstrap --variant=buildd --arch i386 lucid /mnt/temp \ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ You probably meant to do this instead: debootstrap --variant=minbase --arch i386 lucid /mnt/temp \ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ However, as a technical answer to your problem, try:

Does this error have anything to do with setarch?

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.

Analysis The error Exec format error means that the binary being executed exec format error 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.
