Thanks for all your help. Turned out to be some busybox issues.
Everything works now.

seems like lsmod has a different usage than the tools expect here, try
with --debug to see what actually is executed

looks like locking is slightly different than usual too ...

this might actually mean that executing an init or rc script inside the
guest failed

I'm pretty sure you have what you actually need, but some commands are
probably slightly different than on a 'normal' system (e.g. coming from
busybox or similar) ...
double check what is executed and fails with --debug as mentioned above,
then try to fix it up with your commands ...
