Many thanks.

The tests was done on VirtualBox (both i686 and x86_64 architectures),
because in my real machine use a custom kernel without initramfs.

* Images generations are OK.
* Boot OK normal and fallback images (default config).
* Also boot fine with the "init=/bin/bash" argument and "init=/sbin/init"
