It could be because the /mnt/dev tree is not populated.
Copying the hda19 device file from the 10.1 / and trying again didn't help.
Ah, so you saw that. The trick is this, before chrooting:
mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys mount -o bind /dev /proc/dev
and then, chroot (as posted here by Anders Johansson about a month ago).
The man page for mkinitrd is now rather different: 1-mount root device on /mnt 2-mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev 3-chroot /mnt 4-mount /proc 5-mount /sys 6-mkinitrd When I try it this way, I get a lot of Constant & Prototype error messages from line 66 of Exporter.pm. -- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
