linuxrc, initrd and shared libraries



Hi,

I am trying to set up an inital ramdisk which contains a linuxrc script. A
test version of this linuxrc looks like this:

-------------------- linuxrc --------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# $Id: linuxrc,v 1.11 2004/04/26 12:04:46 herbert Exp $

export PATH=/sbin:/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/lib/tls
mount
-------------------------------------------------

The mount command ends up with this error:
../linuxrc: 3 mount: not found


The mount command needs these libraires:

ldd /bin/mount
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7ea6000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fe0000)

My initrd contains these files:

vdr:~# ls -l /mnt/bin

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 86616 Jan 1 1970 awk
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16504 Jan 1 1970 cat

drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24 Jan 1 1970 modules
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 48 Jan 1 1970 tls

vdr:~# ls -l /mnt/lib/tls
total 1357
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1254468 Jan 1 1970 libc.so.6
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134496 Jan 1 1970 libm.so.6


All this is done with Debian 3.1 and Kernel 2.6.17.8

What is wrong with my initrd?

Thanks,
Jiri
