Comments/Problems:
The installation worked perfectly fine. I used:
* graphical expert install
* no root user (sudo)
* French locale (fr_FR.UTF-8)
* base install + base system + graphical environment (GNOME)
* manual partitioning (see above)
* grub2
Everything was fine until I tried to boot on the fresh install, wich failed
with error inserting btrfs ... unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter
and obviously, mounting /dev/sda3 on /root failed: No such device.
And then I get dropped in initramfs.
Unfortunately, dmesg seems void of any interesting information, and even when
I manually modprobe btrfs, it doesn't add any info.
But when insmod-ing the module, it fills dmesg, and I can see which symbols are
missing:
* zlib_deflateEnd
* zlib_deflate
* zlib_deflate_workspecesize
* zlib_deflateInit2
* crc32c
Insmod-ing zlib_deflate works fine, and fixes the first 4.
But insmod-ing libcrc32c fails with the same error message:
insmod: error inserting
'/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/lib/libcrc32c.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in
module
But no clues in dmesg of which symbol is missing.
Please note that this was done in a VirtualBox guest (see above) hosted by a
amd64 Sid installation. All the informations below about the system are the one
of the host since I can't boot on the guest.
I unfortunately cannot try to reproduce the installation on a real system.
