the script will also need to be an exact copy, not just a file with the same name as the shell interpreter will be looking for an exact line/byte count as to where to find the next instruction out of the script.

hello,
I am attempting to write the post-install script on my kickstart config file and so far it has been good.
I am currently running it in a nonchrooted environment (ie i have to use /mnt/sysimage) but I would like to be able to execute some commands outside the chroot and then manually chroot to /mnt/sysimage and execute the rest of my script.
So far I've tried /usr/bin/chroot /usr/sbin/chroot and just chroot all with just /mnt/sysimage as the new root.
Everytime the post-install gets to this part, it just hangs forever. Prior to trying the chroot, the script copies files from /tmp and moves them to the sysimage which work perfectly and I have verified this. Its just the chroot that hangs and then I have to break the script or reboot it and it boots up normally but it does not perform any of the commands after the chroot which lead me to believe that its hung.
Any ideas on what i'm doing wrong? should i only stick to --nochroot or chroot it and forget about it or has anyone else successfully been able to begin in --nochroot and then chroot /mnt/sysimage?
thanks
