environment breaks with the following error: root #chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error Environment This article applies to Gentoo Linux installations on an x86_64 platform (AMD64 architecture). Analysis The error Exec format error means that the binary being executed chroot into different architecture 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.

Chroot Qemu
install gentoo on my athlon 3800+ x2 system, using stage3-amd64* but when I exec format error linux reach the "chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash" point I get the error message "bash: exec format error". It seems *all* binaries on /mnt/gentoo/bin are https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Knowledge_Base:Chrooting_returns_exec_format_error not executable. Should I use x86 instead of amd64? It seems illogical.

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. Last
