The chroot will not work when booting off the standard kernel as when you chroot you are chrooting into a 64 bit environemtn and the LIBs are different. You have to boot off a 64 bit kernel to chroot into a 64 bit environment. If you boot a 32 bit kernel and chroot into a 64 bit file system then it will hang.

When i used the standard kernel for x86, i got the process of installing working, put partially. It goes trough the partitioning/formating/rsyncing fase, but when it goes to the systemconfigurator fase, it fail. The OS on the image is RedHat Enterprise WS 3 for x86_64 and it fails to do the chroot to /a/.... In other way, i have tried to create the boot package in an x86_64 machine, but, with versions 3.2.3 and 3.3.2 it won't boot! It fails because it don't mount initrd.... In version 3.4.0rc1 it boots, with kernel 2.6.7, but the process don't move forward, and i got a lot of errors saying it cannot write to /tmp/variable_list.txt because the filesystem is mounted read-only!!! I have the correct configuration on /tftboot/pxeconfig.cfg but it don't work... I hope this information helps someone to help me too!!!
