There is no error. Proceed with the next step ('emerge --sync'). LONG answer: You were doing just fine until you did 'cd /mnt/gentoo'. What are you trying to do? Why not just take the next step? (Next step: 'emerge --sync') What you are seeing is *not* an error. When you say 'chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash' the computer *essentially* does this: 1. cd /mnt/gentoo 2. make /mnt/gentoo to be / 3. Run bash as the shell... as if you had booted into gentoo with /mnt/gentoo as your root directory (/). 4. All this only effects the konsole session you are running. /mnt/gentoo will no longer exist. If it did exist, then it means you messed up. Suppose I did the following: # ls / foo bar bat # ls /mnt/gentoo alpha beta delta # ls /mnt/gentoo/mnt/gentoo do re mi # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash # ls alpha beta delta # ls / alpha beta delta # ls /mnt/gentoo do re me Do you get it? In your case, there is no /mnt/gentoo/mnt/gentoo, so when you chroot, the directory /mnt/gentoo no longer exists. GOOD LUCK! -- G a b r i e l M .
