Bug#748805: System fails to boot after upgrading to linux-image-3.14-0.bpo.1-amd64 from wheezy-backports
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:
