I have just looked at the initrd.img that has been created and the permissions
of sbin/init (and all other programs in sbin are the same) is:
-rw-------. 1 root root   36088 Nov  5 16:02 init

It think it should be (Like on the standard DVD):
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        36088 Oct 21 19:15 sbin/init

So I guess something has gone wrong at the creation of the initrd stage,
or there is something wrong with the root user setup ?

Cheers
