That message indicates one of a few things happened.
The first is it could not find any default init programs to run.
the second is whatever "init=" that you passed in was not found.
or...
third, the most common, you have a bad dependency, so when it tries to
run init the dynamic loader fails, (shell loader fails in the case of a
shell script.) Something is causing the program not to run properly.
The way I usually debug this is to install ash.static on the system, set
my kernel command line to have init=/bin/ash.static.. boot up and then
attempt to run the "real" init manually so I can get the descriptive
error messages.
