Current dailies fail upon mounting ext4 filesystems just after partitioning
(default whole-disk) with the following message:
The attempt to mount a file system with type ext4 in SCSI3 (0,0,0), partition #2
(sda) at / failed.
dmesg says:
ext4: Unknown symbol pagecache_isize_extended (err 0)
Changing the fs type to btrfs (and likely others) allows proceeding.

It makes no sense whatsoever for an installation report to be grave.

10:28:32 [ jcristau] unknown symbol in a kernel module sounds like mismatch between kernel and module, which is usually user error for not using the right image
So yes, given the linux diff between jessie and sid, I'm pretty sure
this is expected. The image contains this module:
ext4-modules-3.16.0-4-amd64-di_3.16.7-ckt2-1_amd64.udeb
and probably an older d-i daily build, leading to a missing symbol.
Will fix itself when linux migrates.
Mraw,
KiBi.
