Do you have a statically linked shell, like ash, on your system? Get that running first with 7:23:respawn:/bin/ash then in ash run the getty to see the error that keeps it from running. Running a statically linked shell helps to get your system up with having to rely upon libraries and linker. You can also pass ash on the kernel command line from your bootloader to avoid running /sbin/init altogether. kernel root=/dev/??? init=/bin/ash ro Hope that helps.
