I understand from what iwas reading on gentoo forums that the problem is that the shell you are chrooting to, ie bash in the following line: chroot /mnt/whatever /bin/bash checks for the kernel version that is running and will not run with older kernels. (in fact it may be one of the libraries that the shell is linked to). see the post by "Donovan" about 2/3rds down this page http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=27951&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25 > > > I heard this problam had been fixed, but that may have been incorrect. > I fear so. > > Helpful aren't i? > :-) > > I had this problem a while ago and took ages to sort it. > > > > Would have been easier to slip a cdrom drive in the machine and boot off > > that, but i am kinda stubborn. > These particular boxes haven't got cdroms either > > > suggestion in here, slackware is the answer for boot floppies i believe > > > > http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=162005&highlight=toms+rtbt+chroot > > > > On Thu, 2004-06-10 at 20:50, Christopher Sawtell wrote: > > > Greets list, > > > > > > I'm trying to use tomsrtbt to bootstrap into building a simple unix box. > > > I have got to the stage of changing the root, but the chroot command > > > says: FATAL: Kernel too old. > > > > > > Does anyone know of a bootable floppy which has a chroot command which > > > actually works? > > > > > > Thanks a million. > > -- > Sincerely etc. > Christopher Sawtell > > NB.
