Problems installing Debian in micro SD card "chroot: can't execute '/bin/sh': No such file or directory"

I'm trying to install Debian on a 4GB micro sd card
I'm following these steps: http://elektranox.org/n900/installation/manual.html

but when I try to chroot I get

Code:

chroot: can't execute '/bin/sh': No such file or directory

what do I do at this stage? I've also tried the tarbal file installation and when I try to chroot I get "exec format error"

Did you try on phone or on pc?

Re: Problems installing Debian in micro SD card "chroot: can't execute '/bin/sh': No such file or directory"

I'm doing it on the N900

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# uname -a

Linux Nokia-N900 2.6.28.10-power52 #1 PREEMPT Sat Apr 6 11:59:23 UTC 2013 armv7l GNU/Linux

Re: Problems installing Debian in micro SD card "chroot: can't execute '/bin/sh': No such file or directory"

also I'm using debootstrap_1.0.55~bpo70+1_all.deb from the first step because debootstrap_1.0.30_all.deb was not available

Re: Problems installing Debian in micro SD card "chroot: can't execute '/bin/sh': No such file or directory"

What happens if you type: chroot /path/to/mount/point /bin/bash

Re: Problems installing Debian in micro SD card "chroot: can't execute '/bin/sh': No such file or directory"

I get this

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# chroot /mnt/debian/ /bin/bash

chroot: can't execute '/bin/bash': No such file or directory

some additional info:

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# df -h

I'm downloading it now and will report back if it works for me

I think you should try this script with unknown obvious's kernel (armhf/thumb2 support). Long time ago I've used this script (with little modifications) to install armhf debian.
