When I set up that chroot I didn't know that catalyst was able to generate x86 stages from amd64 systems, so that was my reason for creating it. I will install catalyst and genkernel on my main system instead and work from there, and if that fails upgrading to the latest versions.
You don't need genkernel on your host system. It's emerged inside catalyst's chroot when it's needed.
But even if that fixes it, I would very much like to know what was going on. From my debugging I have pretty much confirmed that it's that find/cpio call that fails, but I cannot grasp why at all. Few bugs have left me this perplexed.
We are right in the middle of a release cycle with a couple of people doing repeated catalyst builds, and nobody is hitting this bug.
