Does it make a difference whether you work with /mnt/sysimage (which is
automatically mounted) instead of creating /mnt/sysimage2?  i.e. chroot
to /mnt/sysimage instead of manually mounting and chrooting
to /mnt/sysimage2, then run mkinitrd/zipl (sorry about the reverse order
before, quick fingers)  :)

I wonder whether having the filesystems mounted twice could be causing a
problem.
