missing links, wrong permission, wrong optimisation, too hot (at last

Some hints:
(- if you have time read:
   http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html )
- can you boot soemthing else
- can you boot a shell
- can you boot busybox as a shell (init=/bin/sh with 
  ln -s busybox /bin/sh and busybox in /bin)
- what happens if you call busybox after booting something else
