Hi
I have just purchased a new computer with a AMD Semphron 2800+ 64 bit
processor. I am installing it following the gentoo handbook of the amd64
architecture - only I am using the x86 minimal livecd (2005-r1) and the
stage3-amd64-2005.1-r1.tar.bz2 tarball. Shouldn that be a problem?
When I get to step 6a (chrooting)
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1chap=6#doc_cha
p1
I get the following error:
livecd gentoo # chroot /mnt/gentoo bin/bash
chroot: cannot run command `bin/bash': Exec format error
I've seen that when chrooting into 64-bit environment from a 32-bit
kernel.
You cannot boot from the x86 minimal and use an amd64 stage file. You
need the amd64 boot cd.
I did use LVM2 for partitioning but other than that I have followed the
handbook very throughly. I hope someone has a solution. Please feel free
to ask for any information that may be helpful.
At the same time when you run a command you need to type the path to it
correctly. In this case the path is preceded by /, as in:
/bin/bash
You really need to double check commands before you hit return as it is easy
to miss a character and the whole sequence goes to pot.
