   [SOLVED]A network problem about ubuntu chroot into CentOS

   I have create a qemu image and installed CentOS in this img,
   then I mount the img in /mnt/centos/ ,and chroot into CentOS successfully.
   All the command work fine in CentOS, but I can not ping google.com, so I type "ifconfig", it display like the following:
   

   Code:

   # ifconfig
   Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (No such file or directory). Limited output.
   Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (No such file or directory). Limited output.
   eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 6C:F0:49:E9:0E:65  
             inet addr:192.168.11.4  Bcast:192.168.11.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
             UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
             Interrupt:45 Base address:0xe000

             UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1

   I cd to /proc , it is empty. Am I mount the root file system incorrect?
   
   Anyone know how to config the chroot network and solve this problem?

   Re: A network problem about ubuntu chroot into CentOS

   I have find a easy way to solve my problem,
   I just need to mount my Ubuntu's /proc to the chroot directory.
   

   Code:

   sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/centos/proc

   But the network still not working, I need to do one more thing, when chroot into CentOS, type:
   

   Code:

   dhclient eth1

   Then, I can ping google.com and use the yum command.
   
   For more information, go to  http://geek.co.il/wp/2010/03/14/how-...ent-for-centos
   I found the solution on this website.
