If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question. 1 Can the question be considered a pure duplicate of unix.stackexchange.com/questions/76490/…? 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.

Does anyone have an idea what is causing the error?

The /opt/TMP/bin/bash does not exist and there is not bash file. also when I issued the command, I believe, /bin/bash refers the normal /bin/bash not not relative /bin/bash.
