If you are using CentOS rescue to fix a server and it can not automatically map/find/rebuild/whatever the directory structure correctly you may find this useful. Using chroot after fixing everything yourself does not populate the /dev /proc and /sys directories so you need to do it yourself, if the rescue image finds the install automatically this is all done automatically as well. Here’s what you need to run:
mount -t proc proc /mnt/sysimage/proc/
mount -t sysfs sys /mnt/sysimage/sys/
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/sysimage/dev/
chroot /mnt/sysimage
