I recently purchased a Fujitsu Stylistic 2300 tablet PC from eBay. It came bare and of course I'm going to install Linux on it.
I've got an external USB 2.0 case for a 2.5" hard drive, so I'm using that to get a base system on before putting it back into the tablet. I've decided to use debootstrap to get the base system on since it seems like the simplest and most straight-forward way of getting it all set up. But debootstrap fails before it finishes and I can't chroot into the target path. My host system is running an up-to-date version of Debian Unstable and a custom 2.6.7-bk15 kernel. Steps taken (all as root): 1.) Used cfdisk to delete FAT32 partitions and create new linux partitions. 2.) Used mkfs.ext3 and mkswap to format the partitions. 3.) Mounted the target root partition to /mnt/tablet 4.) Installed debootstrap 0.2.39-1 from an unstable apt source 5.) Ran "debootstrap woody /mnt/tablet" It then ran through the process of downloading, verifying, and checking all the packages it needed. However, near the end it fails: I: Extracting whiptail... I: Extracting mbr... chroot: cannot run command `mount': Permission denied W: Failure trying to run: chroot /mnt/tablet mount -t proc proc /proc umount: /mnt/tablet/dev/pts: not found umount: /mnt/tablet/dev/shm: not found umount: /mnt/tablet/proc/bus/usb: not found umount: /mnt/tablet/proc: not mounted The exact same thing happens if I use "sid" instead of "woody". Also, I've noticed that I can't chroot ANYWHERE: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/krezel# chroot /mnt/tablet/ /bin/sh chroot: cannot run command `/bin/sh': Permission denied It even fails if I try and run /bin/sash instead of /bin/sh, so I don't think its a library incompatability problem (sash is a statically compiled rescue shell).
