Lot of program fail if it doesn't have it. If you want work in chroot you must bind it. so mount /dev/... /chroot mount --bind /proc /chroot/proc mount --bind /dev /chroot/dev mount --bind /sys /chroot/sys chroot /chroot this is expected and without /proc a lot of programs doesn't work. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So problem is in yast, here is direct usage of /proc/meminfo: gtk/integrate/YaST2.call:MEM_TOTAL=`awk '/^MemTotal:/{ print $2 }' /proc/meminfo` installation/startup/YaST2.call:MEM_TOTAL=`awk '/^MemTotal:/{ print $2 }' /proc/meminfo` installation/startup/First-Stage/F08-logging: USE=`awk '/^MemFree:/{ n=2 ; printf "%d\n", $n/3 }' /proc/meminfo` repair/data/filenames:/proc/meminfo yast2/library/agents/proc_meminfo.scr: (`File("/proc/meminfo")), // real file name So I reassign it to yast-maintainers and also decrease severity to low, as this is not much expected scenario without /proc. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Given that without /proc not just meminfo, but also partitions, mounts, devices and various others are not available, we could also consider not to start at all. Josef is right, there's proably not much working without /proc. We could test for /proc in the startup script, and if it's missing print Josef's advice from comment #1 and exit. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
