Pocket Linux can't start bash with shared libraries
 

I'm trying to work through the Pocket Linux Guide using Red Hat Linux 9 as my development platform. The machine I'm using to run the built system is a Pentium 100 with 32MB RAM. I'm able to the the statically-linked version of bash to load and work fine (from chapter 2), but when I try to build bash to use shared libraries (from chapter 3), then boot the new system, I get all the expected boot messages, but I never get a bash prompt. ldd shows me that one of the libraries is in a different location under RH9 than in the guide (libc.so.6 is found under /lib/tls), so I modified the strip command as suggested. It doesn't say *exactly* how to modify it, so I tried a couple things, each with the same result. I tried putting the stripped version of libc.so.6 under /lib and /lib/tls.

I could post all the commands I used at each step of building the floppies and booting from them, but they're essentially the same as in the Pocket Linux Guide, aside from a couple minor differences (e.g. I used different mount points for fd0 and ram7). I just don't want to have to type them all in again unless they'd be useful.

Here are the versions of the packages mentioned in the Guide that I'm using:
bash-3.0
grub-0.95
kernel 2.6.10
