Unable to chroot into clfs

Hi,

I get this error while changing root -

Code:

chroot "${CLFS}" /tools/bin/env -i    HOME=/root TERM="${TERM}" PS1='\u:\w\$ '    PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin    /tools/bin/bash --login +h

(12:03:28 AM) lfs-livecd: chroot: cannot change root directory to : No such file or directory

here is my status before chroot attempt -

I have reinstalled ncurses and bash but the error continues.

Best.

Hello,

it seems that you get this error because your CLFS environment variable is not set... seems that's an empty string.

I did that right at start and it is very much there.

Code:

clfs [ ~ ]$ cat > ~/.bash_profile << "EOF"

exec env -i HOME=${HOME} TERM=${TERM} PS1='\u:\w\$ ' /bin/bash

EOF



clfs [ ~ ]$ cat > ~/.bashrc << "EOF"

set +h

umask 022

CLFS=/mnt/clfs

LC_ALL=POSIX

PATH=/cross-tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin

export CLFS LC_ALL PATH

EOF



source ~/.bash_profile

This is strange -

Code:

ldd /tools/bin/bash

        not a dynamic executable

Its built with staticlib but i dont recollect doing that.

I thought that because of your error. I mean

Code:

cannot change root directory to :

If CLFS variable was correctly set, you should get a message like:

Code:

cannot change root directory to /mnt/clfs: ...

To be sure, before running your "chroot" command, try a:

Code:

echo "CLFS variable set to: ${CLFS}"

Kind regards,

Oliv'

Been there done that -

Code:

clfs:~$ echo "CLFS variable set to: ${CLFS}"

CLFS variable set to: /mnt/clfs

And this is what I get now

Code:

clfs:/mnt/clfs$ chroot "${CLFS}" /tools/bin/env -i \

>    HOME=/root TERM="${TERM}" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \

>    PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin \

>    /tools/bin/bash --login +h

chroot: cannot change root directory to /mnt/clfs: Operation not permitted

Later I opened another console and did this -

Code:

linux-taup:~ # export CLFS=/mnt/clfs

linux-taup:~ # echo ${CLFS}

/mnt/clfs

linux-taup:~ # chroot "${CLFS}" /tools/bin/env -i    HOME=/root TERM="${TERM}" PS1='\u:\w\$ '    PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin    /tools/bin/bash --login +h

I have no name!:/#

Thanks Oliv'

In the first case, it failed because you need root permissions to do a chroot.
Well anyway, now it works, so have fun with your clfs installation ;)
