did you mount /dev, /proc and /sys before chrooting?
i.e
mount --bind /dev /newroot/dev
mount -t proc /proc /newroot/proc
mount -t sysfs /sys /newroot/sys
Why do I have to do this? I haven't seen this in any "recipies". My
you need it because mkinitrd will need info from /proc and /sys to work
correctly and lilo will try to access /proc/partitions and /dev/md1 if
your /boot is on /dev/md1.
Linux setup only has three partitions: "/", swap, and "/home".
/dev /proc and /sys are not disk based filesystems
/dev is a ram disk which is populated at runtime by udev
/proc and /sys are virtual filesystem that expose some of your hw and
kernel configuration to userspace
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying about mounting /dev, /proc
and /sys.
just run:
mount --bind /dev /newroot/dev
mount -t proc /proc /newroot/proc
mount -t sysfs /sys /newroot/sys
before chrooting

btw, be sure to add "auto=yes" to the ARRAY lines in /etc/mdadm.conf
or you might find some arrays are not recognized after boot.
