[Solved] Failed to execute /init (error -13) - Permission Issues?

Since yesterday I get this error when booting. Never had problems like this before.

output:

Failed to execute /init (error -13)
Starting init: /sbin/init exists but couldn't execute it (error -13)
Starting init: /bin/init exists but couldn't execute it (error -13)
Starting init: /bin/sh exists but couldn't execute it (error -13)
Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance.

Here's the call trace (a lot of 'f' omitted):

[<(..)812fdf50>] dump_stacj+0x63/0x83
[<(..)81175de5>] panic+0xe4/0x226
[<(..)815eb25b>] kernel_init+0xeb/0x100
[<(..)815f81ff>] ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x40
[<(..)815eb170>] ? rest_init+0x90/0x90
Kernel Offset: disabled

I tried possible fixes in grub:
enforcing=0 & selinux=0

Changed permissions to 777 on /usr/lib/systemd/systemd, didn't work as well
Search engines don't tell me shit, only that it's a permission problem http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/in … rno-base.h (through free-electrons)

Does anyone know where I should look? Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, found this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=197363
Haven't looked well enough...
It's not a fix, it's a workaround. But I wouldn't know where to look for a fix.
