Package: linux-image-3.14-0.bpo.1-amd64 Version: 3.14.4-1~bpo70+1 I'm running a freshly installed Debian 7.5 on a KVM guest system. The rootfs resides in a btrfs subvolume. To get access to the improvements to btrfs in newer kernel versions, I added the wheezy-backports repository to /etc/apt/sources.list and upgraded linux-image-amd64 from it, which installed linux-image-3.14-0.bpo.1-amd64. After the upgrade, the system fails to boot when the 3.14 kernel is selected — error message below (OCRed, so there might still be a typo somewhere in there). The system still boots normally when I select the 3.2 kernel in the GRUB menu.
The issue has happened on two different KVM guests on different hosts (configured exactly the same otherwise). When the 3.14 kernel failed to boot, I installed linux-headers-3.13-0.bpo.1-amd64 instead, which has been booting and working without issues for a few days now. On-screen output during a failed boot attempt: ------8<------ Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... done. Booting the kernel.
