 |
|
As above I'm trying to install Gentoo on my new machine using the rescueCD
Typing the command | Code: | | chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash |
gives the following error
| Code: | | chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error |
Any ideas? Thanks!

gentooP4,
You have tried to mix a kernel and install with different bitness. i.e.32 and 64 bit.
Boot the 64 bit kernel from System Rescue CD if you need to chroot into a 64 bit install or the 32 bit kernel to rescure a 32 bit install.

Thanks Neddy. I thought I'd be something simple I'd mucked up. Will give it a shot now. Thanks for the help
