I tried this procedure again but used a shotgun approach to picking which extra modules to put into the initramfs. >From the installer VT (at step 3 in my procedure above) I executed: lsmod | sed 's%[ \t].*$%%' >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules This has probably led to a bloated ramfs, but the system now boots with btrfs as the root filesystem. :) Thanks everyone for your help. -- Paul Richards @pauldoo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
