Package: debian-installer Severity: important As already described in the users mailing list [1], I have a Debian sid amd64 install in a VM, using EFI, GPT, btrfs and luks, which after installation is left broken.
So far, I have identified: 1) that the initrd of this install is lacking at least cryptsetup. 2) that an identical install, with the exception of using ext4 instead of btrfs, works perfectly fine (at least in terms of booting, I have not checked issue #3 from the mailing list discussion). 3) that this is reproducible, having recreated the same btrfs install from scratch, resulting in the same issues. So it seems that under some scenarios, d-i is not creating a sufficient initrd. /conf/initramfs.conf states MODULES=most All installs so far were done using the standard graphical install mode. Just FYI, for the installation I am using a sid amd64 based live-cd image generated with live-build with the latest stable d-i included (I'm including the proper standard installer, not the "live" installer), and due to the dev work I've been undertaking on live-build, I am in possession of a live image with EFI support. Hence I am essentially simulating use of a Jessie install disc here.
