I remounted lumix to /mnt/lmx via:

# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/lmx -t ext2 -o exec

Then I executed mount and got this:

# mount
.
.
.
/dev/hda1 on /mnt/lmx type ext2 (rw)

which seems like the exec flag is not being set.

Also, when I tried chroot:

# chroot /mnt/lmx /bin/sh

I got:

illegal instruction

I double checked and made sure that sh is really in /mnt/lmx/bin/sh

All I can figure is that for some reason the exec flag is not really being set 
when I execute the mount command, and this is causing the chroot command to 
fail.
