[pocket-linux] Chapter 3 : no shell

[Bettes]

Some extra info,

1.When I use the ch3-root.image.gz with my boot disket it works.

2.When I copy ch3-root.image.gz to a ramdisk, and replace the lib files with 
my libfiles, I have te same problem: no shell

3.When I copy ch3-root.image.gz to a ramdisk, and replace the bash file with 
my bash file I got the following error:

RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly
Freeing unused kernel memory: 48k freed
/bin/sh: /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by /bin/sh)
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

So now I have the feeling that it all boils down to a problem with the 
libraries.

All suggestions are welcome :-)
