I take it you missed my last post, so here it is again :-
mkdir /mnt/newroot
mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/newroot
# This is the missing bit
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/sysimage/dev
chroot /mnt/newroot
mount -a
NOTE: My /etc/fstab has my /boot as a LABEL=/boot and this didn't get
mounted, so had to mount it manually :-
mount /dev/YOURBOOTPARTITIONHERE /boot
fdisk -l
