Issue with upgrade (9.1 to 9.2)

[Andre Goree]

To answer your question, I was able to mount all the partitions and
chroot in with 'chroot /tmp/mnt /rescue/sh", however, any command I
would type after chroot'ing in would produce this error:

ELF interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 not found
Abort trap

Even though that file indeed exists.
