Live CD boot fails with "/sbin/init does not exist" and squashfs error

I'm not sure whether I should post this as a newbies topic, as I am very newbie at Arch linux.

I happen to have very similar issues to this guy: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=201938, with the difference I downloaded and burned the standard installation ISO (checksums matched, burned the ISO with wodim as the guide says), so it should include the package he missed.

Computer is an Acer aspire timeline x 4820tg with only one partition, formatted ext4.

/sbin/init seems to exist (and points to busybox)
Changing init to "/lib/systemd/systemd" doesn't work, because the only file in /lib/systemd is systemd-udev.
Both ls -l /new_root/sbin and ls -l /new_root/sbin/init point to /usr/bin
Setting acpi=off results in different errors regarding USB ports ("can't enumerate") and shutdown.

I am also getting SquashFS errors, all along the lines of "zx decompression failed", "SQUASHFS error: Unable to read data cache entry [X]", "SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block X, size Y". I get them before the /sbin/init and every time I access /new_root, they are always about a couple of blocks, always the same ones.

Can't tell which causes which due to noobness, and I hope someone with more experience may help. Thank you!
