chroot: java fails

Hopefully none - but until it works perfectly, I need a way to get back
there, so I can use my netbank (firefox, java, etc), and other things.
Well, perhaps to run some performance tests, to show that my go program
really is faster on a real 64-bit system. (well, I have to write that program
first...)

Thanks. The basic setup was surprisingly easy. I used the old root partition,
so I did not have to install anything at all!  

I still had to (re?)mount my disks manually, haven't found where to tell
schroot which disks I need mounted, or how to get them all right. 

I run into problems with X display not coming out. xeyes times out after some
seconds with "Could not connect to :0". I fixed that by enabling tcp
listening (in  vi /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc), and setting DISPLAY="127.0.0.1"
inside the chroot. And a "xhost +" on the amd-64 side. Xeyes works, xine
works! Firefox works - except when I try to go to my netbank (www.nordea.dk).
I get the login screen, but the process dies in a few seconds, often in the
middle of me typing in my password.

I am using a 'plain' schroot, since I already have the old root system
mounted. Perhaps I should try with a block device type thing?
