afait you did everything right, except copy the required libraries there.
Try this to find them:
find /the/mounted.new.partition -type f -exec ldd {} \; \
sort | uniq | tee required_libs.txt | less
Then copy all these libs into the /lib directory of the new partition. You
also need to adjust ld.so.conf to match. Please read the manual ld.so(8)
;)
