I tried to install from /cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cddebian-testing-amd64-kde-CD-1.iso (dd'd to a USB disk) when I ran into all these problems. Today I tried again with the latest debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso, using full disk encryption and btrfs on /. No problems at all. The machine boots and I'm happy :)
There is obviously a bug in the installer in iso-cddebian-testing-amd64-kde-CD-1.iso. How/where is the the appropriate place to report that?
