[SOVLED]Install archLinux can't chroot into archLinux

I mounted all the required partitions and everything but when i get to the point where I need to run the chroot command I get this error:

arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash

chroot:failed to run command #bin/bash#:no such file directory

Re: [SOVLED]Install archLinux can't chroot into archLinux

It looks like you haven't run the pacstrap command. Can you confirm this please.

Also can you post the output of...

lsblk

Was the pacstrap command successful? 37 seconds seems incredibly quick to download and install all the packages from base and base-devel.

Nope, it uses /bin/bash by default, but it can be specified as an argument. So either way should work if /bin/bash exists in the directory one is chrooting into.

Re: [SOVLED]Install archLinux can't chroot into archLinux

There should be additional files in there, one for each package that pacman records as being installed.
Something has gone very wrong with the pacstrap step.  Would suggest reformatting that filesystem and attempt pacstrap again.
