Bug#748805: System fails to boot after upgrading to linux-image-3.14-0.bpo.1-amd64 from wheezy-backports
I'm seeing this also. I ran a fresh Wheezy install, which installed a
3.2 kernel that continues to work properly. While doing so, I created
two partitions, both with btrfs, for / and /home. I completed the
install and everything worked fine.
Then I immediately did a dist-upgrade to unstable, which included an
upgrade to the 3.14 kernel. Thank goodness, it left the 3.2 kernel
installed. If I try to boot with the 3.14 kernel, I see the unknown
symbol error consistently. If I switch back to the 3.2 kernel, it
consistently works fine.
On a whim, I tried update-initramfs, which didn't seem to help anything.
So my best guesses are that the btrfs module in the packaged 3.14 kernel
is miscompiled, or that they have a dependency which wasn't properly
marked in modules.dep.
Either way, this is a definite issue, and is blocking me from continuing
my install. Next step for me is to compile the kernel myself, but
obviously the packaged kernel should work properly.
