No I don't think so.
The main thing is to try to find out which part of init.c
is crashing (and later, why).

As I don't have OEL, could you try extracting the init binary. It's
buried in the supermin executable, so it's best to get it from the
debug sources:
(1) debuginfo-install supermin
(2) rpm -ql supermin-debugsource | grep src/format-ext2-init-bin.h
(eg. it will print something like <blahblah>/src/format-ext2-init-bin.h )
(3) Attach the copy of <blahblah>/src/format-ext2-init-bin.h or send
it to me by email if it's too big for the list. You might have
to compress it.
