Problem when Installing from Existing Linux with Arch's Image

Hey!

I'm just getting started with Arch Linux. I made a 20GB unallocated space between my Win7 and Ubuntu partitions, created a new ext4 partition and I'm currently following this guide ("another method" section) in order to install my first attempt of Arch Linux.

I'm on a 64-bit Ubuntu and want to install a 64-bit Arch Linux too, so I'm using the image archlinux-2011.08.19-core-x86_64.iso and in the process of following the instructions in the mentioned guide, I replaced i686 by x86_64.
The problem comes up when I try to do the chrooting, where I get:

chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory

Any idea what could I be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Re: Problem when Installing from Existing Linux with Arch's Image

Ok, I had just messed up when mounting the different directories. Sorry for the noise...
Anyway, found more errors when running:

aif -p interactive

about not finding /lib/modules/3.0.0-13-generic/modules.dep... what makes me think that this guide is intended to be followed when running also an Arch as the Existing Linux.
I think I'll just go with the flash drive option...

Cheers!
