Re: [CentOS] chroot from 32-bit to 64-bit filesystem?

I have a 32-bit PXE environment and I want to chroot to a CentOS x64 root filesystem. Of course that doesn't work. Any tricks or hacks that would allow me to do that? Currently I get the error:

chroot: /bin/bash: Exec format error

What if I updated my PXE environment to 64-bit. Could I then chroot to a 32-bit? I use PXE to quickly troubleshoot both 32-bit and 64-bit arch.

Thanks. -Scott

Booting an x86-64 kernel with the proper config options set to enable execution of 32 bit binaries should allow you to do that. I think.
