But that wouldn't explain why you can't boot with init=/bin/bash

You have a readable partition, and the files are there, so damage to the
filesystem seems to be ruled out as a cause. Two different kernels fail,
so damage to the kernel executable seems to be ruled out.
OK, my next theory is that the boot loader is reading the wrong
partition for /. Is that a possibility?
Alternatively, you may have lost /lib/libc.so.6 or /lib/ld-linux.so.2
(/sbin/init uses shared libraries on my system, so I assume the same is
true of yours.) That would account for your being unable to run either
init or bash.
