Pacman 3 in 32-bit chroot = no go

[vEX] · 2007-05-21 10:39:48

Trying to use pacman 3 under my 32-bit chroot doesn't work at all, the problem is pretty obvious since it complains about no free space. Which isn't so weird after all, mount shows _no_ mount points at all, no wonder pacman can't decide if there is any free space or not, / isn't even mounted!

I actually created the 32-bit installation by simply installing Arch onto another partition and just not install any bootloader so it should be fully working if I add an entry into my grub menu.lst. I then borrowed the rc.d script from the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … _rc_script) and everything has been working fine until I upgraded pacman.

Anyone have any idea on how to make it work with pacman 3?

You did bind-mount proc, dev and sys into the chroot?
If you did, maybe a

# grep -v rootfs /proc/mounts > ${CHROOT}/etc/mtab

(from outside the chroot) helps

Ah, so /etc/mtab holds that information, good.

I added a line claiming that the partition on which arch32 resides is mounted as / and now it works just fine, thanks!
