ok my slackware 10.2 chroot gives me the same problem, I took all the spaces off the binfmt in the tutorial, corrected the dev/pts command and the rest I believe is pretty much the same, but I cannot fork. Can it be that I'm using power kernel?? I don't know what to think...

EDIT: I think I should blame the binfmt magic, I am pretty new to it, it does not load ld-linux.so.2 without calling qemu first, I need to find the elf header of it... hmm...
