Certainly looks like it mounted the ext2, then was unable to read the
superblock?

Here are a couple thoughts I had while skimming livecd-mkinitrd.sh.

1) inst /sbin/busybox.anaconda should probably be inst
$rootdir/sbin/busybox.anaconda (which would require it to be installed on the
target system)

2) inst $INSTALLDIR/initrd/find-live-cd

makes me think this could be your problem.  I.e. this would appear to me to be
(in your case) installing a find-live-cd binary which was compiled on a x86_64
system into an initrd which is meant to be run on a 32-bit system.
