Translation: The local socket (probably in /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock )
doesn't exist for some reason. Lots of things, including the Debian start
script, like to have that socket there so they can talk to mysqld. Make sure
the my.cnf file says where the socket should be, and make sure that
/var/run/mysqld/ in the chroot is owned by mysql .

So logger exists in /usr/bin/ , which makes me think it's trying to use logger
to write to some sort of syslog daemon at some point. I would install a
syslog daemon (syslog-ng or metalog or something....) in the chroot and run it
just to see if other junk is going on in there. At the very least, you'd
probably get some junk in various logfiles, which would probably help diagnose
whatever other problems might crop up.

I think that socket is maintained by syslog.

You need /proc/ and /dev/pts mounted. That should be OK.

That makes things a bit easier.
