Untill not long ago I could use chroot. Now suddenly it fails
giving error Booted into Slackel and got same error.

I assume it has something to do with one of the latest upgrades,
of what file I wouldnot know..

What is inside that /hd directory? Are you sure it worked before? With the same directory? My guess is it never worked before and you are confused.

Have no Internet connection at the house at the moment.

Inside the /hd directory is the the entire directory
I want to chroot to.

Yes it worked before when I followed your instruction.

It does not work in Slackel.

It does work in SalixLive.

Two things to check:
1) Is there a file /hd/bin/bash?
2) Does the system in /hd have the same architecture (32-bit or 64-bit ) as the one from where you type the chroot command?

To check, compare the results of these commands:

Thanks! That was the problem, the architecture. I forgot that
the directory I wanted to chroot is on 64-bit and mine on 32-bit.

Got my Internet back after one week w/o. Problem was at base station
something blew-up they said.
