Thanks for the confirmation that the installer works. I will soon update my web site to recommend the installer. > FATAL: Error inserting btrfs > (/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-kirkwood/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko): Unknown symbol in > module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) > Turns out, btrfs.ko depends on crc32c.ko, which wasn't included.

This error is produced by partman-btrfs's check.d/no_btrfs_boot script. I suggest you file a bug on the partman-btrfs package about this issue. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
