You're looking at /bin/ash in your current root context. However, after doing a chroot, your root context is now /mnt, so you are effectively trying to execute /mnt/bin/ash, which doesn't seem to exist. If under /mnt you have a new install, then that's normal: ash is not installed in base system; it's only used on boot-floppies. > # chroot /mnt /bin/sh > sh-2.05a# quik > Could not open /proc/cpuinfo! Same problem here: you need the proc filesystem mounted on /mnt/proc, not on /proc. That's why quik can't open /proc/cpuinfo. > Thing is, the terminal opening text says I'm using ash, and an ls shows it > sitting right there in /bin, all nice and executable by everyone (whoami > returns "root", btw). So, it looks like... No, so far it doesn't look like anything. Go back to your shell /you can also use /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh), mount proc onto /proc once in the chroot shell, and try again running quik. Then report back ;-) Cheers Michel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michel Lanners | " Read Philosophy. Study Art. 23, Rue Paul Henkes | Ask Questions.
