Ubuntu [Solved] Not able to do a chroot.

Hi all,

I have two doms on my machine. I boot my machine from an rfs in one dom1 and mount the other rfs in the other dom2 at /media. Now I wanted to restrict access of users on dom2 to only their home directories. I do not want them to access any other directories on dom1 or dom2. So I mounted the dom2 at /media, after booting from dom1, and changed the directory to /media. Now when I try to do a chroot ., it is giving an error
chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory

Can anybody help me please?

Waiting for a reply. Thank you in advance.

Thanks and Regards,
Sai.

cd /media/xxx
mount -o bind /proc proc
mount -o bind /dev dev
mount -o bind /sys sys
mount -o bind /dev/pts dev/pts

Thank you once again.
