Hi,
   I am trying to make a debian sid system with btrfs as root.


Why?  It's still tagged EXPERIMENTAL.

I am just trying. 8-)

Some things you try *after* doing some basic research. Googlereally is your friend.

  I installed debian sid on ext3 root, compiled 2.6.34 kernel. Booted
to 2.6.34, it mounted a btrfs data partition right.
  Then I booted into debian live, converted the root to btrfs, rebooted.
  I got this:
FATAL: Error inserting btrfs


Does your boot loader understand btrfs?

My boot partition is ext3.


That's not what I asked.
