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 ...
