Do this: a...@nazgul ~ $ ls -al /bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 24 09:58 /bin/sh -> bash sh is a symlink to bash. You do not have bash inside your chroot, and that is the file that is not being found. You must also run ldd on bash, see all the libs it links to and copy those as well into the chroot -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
