[arch-general] archlinux install bottleneck

After having run arch-chroot /mnt /usr/bin/bash one of the things I do is to run alsactl store. alsactl store returns error 125 /var/lib/alsa/asound.state no such file or directory. Certainly there's no such file since when alsa was run before arch-chroot got run on system boot /mnt/var/lib/alsa directory was empty having just run pacstrap on /mnt. So since this is supposed to work, could it be arch-chroot script fails to collect and pass along enough of the right environment information to its chrooted environment for alsactl store to run?
