Do you depend busybox acting as /linuxrc?  I removed /linuxrc
support from the .udeb, per (now-closed) bug #163890:

Yup.  You use init=/linuxrc.  I recommend removing this line from
your syslinux.cfg.  Then init will be /sbin/init, which is still
busybox init and should therefore do just what it used to do for 
you....
