 |
|
I was going through the X.org fonts HOWTO on gentoo-wiki.com, and portage gave some errors during emerage -avuDN
I had to reboot, and now cannot get back in. Obviously my network does not start (among other things) and I get a warning saying to execute depscan.sh. Well, that script returns nothing... not even an error output... and I return to the command line.
So, I try to chroot in using my trusty minimal install CD. Boot, and issue these commands:
| Code: | mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/gentoo/home
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
swapon /dev/sda5
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash |
Here is the output:
| Code: | | chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error |
My system was compiled 64 bit, and this is a 64-bit minimal install cd. (amd64).
Any ideas what is going on here?

Same error, just says 'bin/bash' instead of '/bin/bash'...
Thanks for the suggestion though.

you might need to extract a stage 3 tarball and emerge -e world |
After looking at that, I'm wondering if I can't just look at the bash file, OR if by some chance I'm not on amd64 minimal CD?
EDIT: I downloaded a stage3 tarball and extracted, same issue.
Edit2:
Problem was x86 minimal cd. I thought I was using an amd64 cd but I wasn't. D'oh!
