The relevant line in /etc/inittab has been "8:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/chroot /[chroot] /sbin/getty 38400 tty8" and it worked. Until the past month or so, when the chroot has consistently failed, with the following messages:

Hi, Javier,

Since chroot fails, I am not sure, but there's a difference in what is
returned by ldd for /sbin/getty and /[chroot]/sbin/getty. What is
returned for the first includes " libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
(0xb7f5d000)" but the closest thing to a corresponding directory for
the chroot, /[chroot]/lib/i486-linux-gnu, is empty.  Does this mean
there's an issue with the chrooted libc6?

I confess, I'm a little out of my depth here. But thanks for thinking
about the issue and asking what seems a good question.
