That puzzled me for two weeks till I finally fixed it last saturday :-P No, that isn't it either. I'm doing everything as root, as one would when installing or repairing the system. I never have got chrooting working as an ordinary user. I installed both the rescue system and the main system from the current installation CD, whichever that was - 2007.1, I think. In each case, I continued the installation to build the system I wanted: KDE on the main system and only a few tools on the rescue system. I didn't mess about with essential system components like bash. Is it possible that chrooting from one bash version to another is my problem? I think they're the same, and it'll take me some time to check. Or maybe the problem is in the chroot function in the system I'm leaving. -- Rgds Peter -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Ooops, I overlooked your cd command. Therefore the
mount command is of course correct. :-[
Hi,
I think this is, although the 'cd' command is executed, necessary as the mount
command looks at /etc/fstab and if e.g. 'proc' is specified at command line
mount uses information from fstab.
However, I think this problem is whether mount nor bash related. Try
# mount -tproc proc /mnt/rescue/proc
# mount -obind /dev /mnt/rescue/dev
# chroot /mnt/rescue /bin/bash
Especially check the permissions of /mnt/rescue/bin/bash and /bin/bash. They
should be at least 0755. In case of there are several permission problems last
time on my system ('up-to-date-system', no ~*) rebuild the package that include
'chroot' so that right permissions are set for the program and its libs.
I hope this helps in any way and excuse me for that bad English.
Regards,
acm.
