I am aware the the OP got it solved, but just as an exercise - wouldn't it make more sense to use "mount --bind" like this: mount --bind /dev /mnt/newroot/dev and while we are at it: mount --bind /boot /mnt/newroot/boot (if required) mount --bind /sys /mnt/newroot/sys mount --bind /proc /mnt/newroot/proc ? That's what I use as part of getting Ubuntu desktop installation to use lvm2. --Amos ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
