Hi, after reading this article I tried to chroot in a directory named /test. /test/bin/sh existed but chroot said "/bin/sh: No such file or directory". The article says, that you have to cp some libraries to /test/lib/ but how you can find out which libs to cp it doesn't tell. The solution to this problem, into which you may also run, is to do a "ldd /test/bin/sh" and cp the resulting libraries to /test/lib/.

Showing messages 1 through 2 of 2.

  if you still have this error message after adding the libs run:
  
  cp /etc/ld.so.conf /test/etc
  ldconfig -r /test

  The command must be relative to the new root, ex:
  mkdir /tmp/test /tmp/test/bin
  cp /bin/sh /tmp/test/bin/
  chroot /tmp/test bin/sh
  or
  chroot /tmp/test /bin/sh
  not
  chroot /tmp/test /tmp/test/bin/sh
  
  assumed that sh is statically linked( it's in the root partition)
