I might be on the wrong track, but just a heads up:

You get this error message when you run some script which a shebang that
points to (say) bash (#!/bin/bash).

So it's possible that reboot binary is trying to execute some shell
script which either doesn't exist or has a broken reference to
bash/perl/python or some other interpretor which isn't installed.

This has baffled me enough in the course of building my little distro
that I'm starting to remember what it means when I see it now.
Confusingly it can occur a few layers down in the execution order and be
tricky to figure out...

Good luck
