Are you calling m-a with the -r flag to select the appropriate kernel?
By default it uses the RUNNING kernel, which is the one outside the
chroot (i.e. wrong).

If you have sh code to find what argument to pass to m-a within the
chroot, I'm interested; currently I'm just hard-coding it in my call
to m-a.
