Juanje: /bin/dd *is* in the initramfs.
I don't know where it comes from. Probably, as you noticed in a provious post, not from busybox. However it's there and does work.

The problem is that it's *not used*. Instead /root/bin/dd is used, and that fails because it's a dynamically linked binary.
It simply is a PATH issue.
In fact, PATH=/root/usr/bin:/root/usr/sbin:/root/bin:/root/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin when /scripts/casper-bottom/13swap is executed. (tested booting with "break=casper-bottom")

This is broken!
I'm investigating why this happens.
