It could be because the /mnt/dev tree is not populated.
Copying the hda19 device file from the 10.1 / and trying
again didn't help.
Ah, so you saw that. The trick is this, before chrooting:
mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys
mount -o bind /dev /proc/dev
and then, chroot (as posted here by Anders Johansson about a month ago).
The man page for mkinitrd is now rather different:
1-mount root device on /mnt
2-mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
3-chroot /mnt
4-mount /proc
5-mount /sys
6-mkinitrd
When I try it this way, I get a lot of Constant & Prototype error messages
from line 66 of Exporter.pm.
I have seen these on 2 x86_64 boxes, but the initrd gets built and the
kernel boots fine. Still needs fixing though.

Sid.
