That strace shows that trying to open /dev/null fails with ENXIO:
[pid 6050] open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY <unfinished ...>
[pid 6050] <... open resumed> ) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address)
and everything goes downhill from there.
It would be worth looking at your /dev/null to see what kind of (broken)
device node it is, and get a clue about *why* it is broken.
Greg, any udev breakage that could affect /dev/null?

Initio has been suspected broken even after all the bug fixes (I
actually said that in the last pull request). We just couldn't get a
tester to confirm the suspicion. The commits were for known issues but
it proved impossible to get any of the reporters to verify.
Could you direct this poster to linux-scsi and we'll see if we can
finger the root cause (which will be difficult to do without getting a
boot trace).

I do not know of any such breakage.
But, as this is in a chroot, hopefully udev has properly populated the
chrooted /dev tree for the process to provide the /dev/null device node?
Tino, did you provide a /dev/ for your chroot? Did you use udev to
create it, or did you use a static /dev tree?
thanks,
