[Solved] Chroot problem

Hi all,
i have a strange problem with chroot command:

[root@icewave ~]# env -i HOME=$HOME TERM=$TERM /usr/sbin/chroot /mnt/newdir /bin/bash 
/usr/sbin/chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory

I obtain the same error message with:

[root@icewave ~]# chroot /mnt/newdir/ /bin/bash
chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory

[root@icewave ~]# chroot --version
chroot (GNU coreutils) 6.11

Re: [Solved] Chroot problem

you're probby chroot'ing to an empty directory
once the root has been chaned, there is no file called /bin/bash in there

Hi Kumico,
thanks for your reply; you are right, the dir is empty :-)
Thank you again
