I'm doing a cross installation. The host system is Wheezy 32 bit, and the target is Jessie 64 bit. So I run this:
# debootstrap --no-check-gpg --arch=amd64 --foreign jessie /mnt/debian ... This sucessfully installed first stage files. Then I go to chroot into the target disk and get: # LANG=C.UTF-8 chroot /mnt/debian /bin/bash chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error I gather the problem is that I'm trying to run 64bit bash code with a 32bit chroot application. How does one then do a cross install a 64 bit operating system with a 32-bit host machine? I did not find help in the chroot manual. Haines Brown
