FYI I absolutely has no hands on experience on this kind of hack, so
this is purely speculation.

I am thinking, ret=0 when calling /sbin/init? AFAIK, a successful
open() operation should return something bigger than 0 as the file
descriptor.

Also, init should call /sbin/login or something similar. maybe
something is wrong when reading /etc/fstab or anything similar for
your kernel?
