I'm trying to run chroot from my working gentoo environment (not on install) and I always get the following error:

Have you followed all the steps from the documentation ??

Did you remeber to mount the partition? I forgot that one once, and got the same error.

This is not on install. I have a working Gentoo installation.

Solved. /bin/bash and its deps must exist within the new root, not just in your current tree.

So exactly what files did you need to copy? I've gos bin/* and sbin/* and the chroot still won't work.

[edit] /lib/* ! [/edit]
