Bug#603578: installation-reports: Fails to boot after successful install on a btrfs root



I had the same problem after a fresh installation with the squeeze net installer.

The problem is caused by a missing crc232c module in the initrd as described here:
http://lists.mandriva.com/bugs/2010-05/msg04062.php
http://www.linux-archive.org/debian-user/472356-error-installing-squeeze-root-filesystem-btrfs.html

For squeeze a workaround (not like mandriva, and not with the typo on linux-achive) is:

- get a livecd, I used an old ubuntu karmic beta amd64
- follow the procedure to get  a chroot as on: http://ganomi.com/wiki/index.php/Rescue_an_encrypted_LUKS_LVM_volume
- add crc32c to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
- update the initrd using: update-initramfs -u

then reboot.
