[ut2004] /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

> /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

My Guess:

The partition where you have installed ut2k4 is mounted with the 
'noexec' flag, type mount, if the output contains something like this

/dev/hda17 on /opt/more10GBbiggames type xfs (noexec,bla,rw,etc...)

edit the appropriate line in /etc/fstab and write an 'exec' at the 
beginning of the 4th column, so it looks similar to that:

/dev/hda17  /opt/more10GBbiggames xfs  noexec,user,someotheroption 0 2

My 2 ¢
