Panics with the subject title. It tries /bin/init, /sbin/init

Some searching shows that ERRNO 26 is for a busy file, but I've no clue
what may be accessing all the init files at the time of the boot.

I tried passing init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd, but it fails with error
-2. Is systemd not on the CD?

I have read about successful installations of Arch on this machine
previously, but they mentioned no problems of the sort, presumably that
was pre-systemd Arch.

Is there anything else I could try to get it working?

I am using a late 2015 ISO for the CD.


Is there any error message when it tries to mount the root file system?
Likely yes; so the problem would be that your initrd does not contain the right drivers for disk access.

* reboot with the CD
* adjust /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
The HOOK line looks at me like the following:
HOOKS="base udev modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck resume"
Try to remove 'autodetect'; it may strip modules that are needed by accident; 'resume' is necessary for s2disk.
* re-create your initrd
mkinitcpio -k YOURKERNELVER -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img
KERNELVER can be found out by
ls /lib/modules

Good Luck!

P.S.: these things are also explained under:
