 Posted: Tue Oct 15, 2002 4:38 am Post subject: Chrooting - "Illegal instruction"????? |
 |
|
Okay, I'm trying to install Gentoo 1.2 on my box to serve as a firewall.
Anyway, I'm doing everything pretty much step by step as the installation guide says (with minor changes), but when it comes to chrooting after I type chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash (or /bin/sh). I get "Illegal operation" message. What does that mean?
Here's exactly what I'm doing:
After it boots:
1)I set up my partitions (since it's going to be a linux only box) /dev/hda1 as Linux Swap (128 meg partition since I only have 64 megs of ram), then the rest of the drive (/dev/hda2) as Linux
2)mke2fs /dev/hda2
3)mkswap /dev/hda1
4)tune2fs -j /dev/hda2
5)mkdir /mnt/gentoo
6)mount -t ext3 /dev/hda2 /mnt/gentoo
7)swapon /dev/hda1
8)mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660
9)cd /mnt/cdrom
10)cp stage3-i686t.2.tbz2 /mnt/gentoo
11)cd /mnt/gentoo
12)tar xvjpf stage3-i686t.2.tbz2
13)mount /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc -o bind
After doing this I'm trying to chroot:
14)chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/sh (or /bin/bash)
After I enter this I get "Illegal Instruction" message...
Any ideas?
Did I forget about something? |

Chances are you're using a 686 tarball on a non-686 machine. What kind of CPU is this firewall?

Well, it's a Pentium 200 MMX.
And notice that I haven't even gotten to compiling my kernel (I only untared the stage3 tarball), so how would it know anyway? |

Thats an i586 class machine.

I don't think you understand what the "Illegal Instruction" means. It means the executable ( chroot in this case ) is trying to execute machine code that doesn't "gel" on this architecture.
So a 686 Chroot might have optimisations that don't work on a 586.

Well then should I use stage3-ppc-1.2.tbz2 tarball instead (progress as with i686 stage3), or I need to start from stage 1? |

Seeing as how that's for the PowerPC, I doubt it will be helpful.

If you can't find a 586 stage 3, then you will have to start from stage 1.

Well that answered my question too.
Setting up a server got stage1 on ok but can't chroot even forcing the issue with the tomsrb disk. The server box has no cdrom only eth0 to this main box with cd's and modem to the internet.
oh well looks like more downloading. Should I gentoo 1.4 or just go with 1.2 since this box has 1.2?
Regards
Tim
