Are you using SELinux or anything similar? If so (or you aren't sure), what do the following commands (as root) say: id -Z ls -alZR /mnt/rescue If not then try strace'ing the chroot call, like so: strace -etrace=chroot,chdir,execve chroot /mnt/rescue /bin/bash That will show whether it is the chroot call itself that is failing or the attempt to run bash afterwards.
