This seems to be more userspace related than kernel related, so this is 
probably the wrong mailing list. Anyway, check that:

 - busybox is statically linked or that you have the necessary 
libraries in the library path. (you can check this with "ldd busybox")

 - busybox is marked executable

 - busybox is compiled for the right processor

 - check that the init= parameter points to the right executable

 - if you have another ppc machine, try a "chroot <dir> busybox" and 
see if it executes or why it doesn't

I hope this helps,
