[gentoo-embedded] Chroot error: chroot: 'cannot execute /bin/bash: No such file or directory' on NSLU2 to Gentoo root

Hi,

I am trying to follow the Wiki instructions for putting Gentoo onto  
the NSLU2 at:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Linksys_NSLU2

However, I am getting an error when trying to chroot into the gentage  
stage that is on the USB disk.

I have burned the openslug firmware and created the root filesystem  
(from the stage3 tar.bz2) and now have ssh login to nslu2.

But when I run the following commands:

# mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
# mount -o bind /dev/pts /mnt/gentoo/dev/pts
# mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
# cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash

I get the following error on the last line (the chroot command)

chroot: cannot execute /bin/bash: No such file or directory

I have checked for /bin/bash, but it doesnt exist.

I have also tried using the 'sh' shell instead (which does exist as a  
link to busybox). But I get the same error (but with sh not being  
about to be executed).

Please can someone help?
If any of you have run through these steps, I would appreciate the help.

Thankyou in advance

Dean

I downloaded the following stage3 bz2:

stage3-armeb-uclibc-softfloat-2005.1.tar.bz2

Is this the correct one?

How can I tell?

which is probably the correct one assuming you didnt go through the byte 
swapping procedure to boot a little endian nslu2

forgive me if I am asking a silly question, but I dont know what the  
'byte swapping procedure to boot a little endian nslu2' is.

I have burned the openslug 3.1-beta firmware. Could you confirm this  
is correct?

Hi,

Thanks for the help. I have ended up backtracking the steps in the  
Gentoo NSLU2 hardware wiki and I think it was down to not doing  
'turnup init' at the beginning.

Having redone the steps (including the turnup init), I am past the  
chroot step and now running 'emerge sync'.

PS I have also updated the wiki with some extra guidelines.

thanks
