Can you show us the output of blkid? > I did the chroot command again (while in chroot) nd it reported an error: chroot from inside a chroot is obviously not going to work if the target directory doesn't exist inside the upper chroot. > # LANG=C.UTF-8 chroot /mnt/debinst /bin/bash > chroot: cannot change root directory to '/mnt/debinst': No > such file or directory > > $ ls /mnt | grep debinst > debinst One of these was done as root, the other not (# vs $ prompts). Are they actually from the same shell session or are you saying you did a chroot and then tried to do the same chroot again and then when that failed exited out and proved to us that your /mnt/debinst does exist? If the latter than this is not very interesting as we would expect that to exist for your first chroot to work, and we would not expect the second chroot to work. After all, you probably do not have a directory structure like /mnt/debinst/mnt/debinst, right? After showing us the output of blkid from outside the chroot I suggest that you paste a full session of you: - bind mounting relevant directories into your chroot - entering that chroot - showing content of etc/fstab from inside chroot - proving that block devices exist by UUID by showing content of /dev/block/by-uuid/ from inside chroot. So far we have only have drip drip drip of little information and some of that not relevant. Also Debian Daedalus is not a Debian release code name so you are probably running something else like Devuan, and should really seek support at their support venues.
