For a start you could try running a statically linked shell as your "init", like specifying "init=/bin/bash.static" at your kernel command line. If that works, check that your shared libraries are where the shared loader expects them to be -- for n32 that could be "/lib32", "/usr/lib32", etc., but it depends on how it has been built. Note you can invoke the loader manually to examine its behaviour (run it without arguments to get some help) and then there are a couple of LD_* environment variables that it recognizes that may aid you with figuring out what is wrong (you may have to look at the sources for how to use them though).
