Re: chroot fails

Huh.  What do you see with "ls -l /rootpart/lib" ?  It acts like maybe
it can't find the libraries, or maybe the programs are linked to need
something like a LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  Hmmm, maybe I can find something
about RC=254, um, not sure.  I have tested 2.0.96 with the current
RedHat, even the 7x issues I thought were fixed as far as that goes.
It might also matter if /rootpart/etc/ld.so.conf.cache.whatever was
messed up, you might want to try "chroot /rootpart /sbin/ldconfig"
and see if that helps or works.  The ldconfig program for *sure* is
not going to be dynamically linked, so if ldconfig works it is a good
chance that the problem is library related.  -Tom

Are you sure you have the mountpoints in the right place for /lib?
