Bug#565511: ext4.ko module missing from initramfs
On further investigation, I find that
/lib/modules/2.6.30-2-686/kernel/fs/ext4/ext4.ko
is missing from the initramfs.
I assume that this explains the failure. I do now seem to remember
choosing a "slim" initrd during installation. Going into rescue mode,
I could not find any way to revert to a "full" initrd.
I could not see any bug about this against linux-image-2.6.30-2-686. I
assume it generates initrd? But then I don't know how the installer can
select a "slim" version.
During my investigation, I noticed that the grub2 entry started with an
insmod ext2 which seemed a little odd on an ext3/4 system.
So it seems that while the installer supports ext4, the installed target
system initrd does not.
So I guess that I will have to compile my own kernel on the target and
then change to ext4 via the rescue mode (it's the root partition) later.
