[Solved] chroot: failed to run command /bin/bash: no such file or dire

makosz · 2017-04-12 04:19:00

I am not able to run

arch-chroot /mnt

I get error

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

I checked /mnt/etc/fstab and get abbreviated

#/dev/sda1
UUID=8008-C519     /boot    vfat   rw,relative,fmask,=002,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro  02

I also have /dev/sda2 mounted on /mnt/boot to have grub installed on, but there are no errors on it.

I read somewhere that the partition should be ext4 but I am using

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2

To format it.

Please help

It looks like you are chrooting to nothingness.

do you run pacstrap in your install mountpoint?

makosz · 2017-04-12 17:33:59

Yes I do run

pacstrap /mnt base

I ran it again and get

 partition /mnt/boot too full: 2429 blocks needed, 119 blocks free

This was the second time I ran it so I'm thinking it says that due to what is on it now

So I finally am able to run

arch-chroot /mnt

but in /mnt/etc/fstab have the same msg.

I did increase the sizez of /dev/sda1. Now I am not able to get grub working. Have tried everything I was googling. Will make a new post.
