Hi,
i'm not familiar with precisely this solution, but i've been solving
something similar few months ago...
I think the best thing you should do when searching for the reason is
going step after step after the mount of pivot root. There must be some
script on the tftp server, where the mount of the pivot root and
snapshot is executed... so find it and then start shell right after it.
This gives you enough space for finding what is happening and trying how
to fix or find the bug (if it is a bug ;-))
best regards
