lot for this advice! Strangely installing the firmware-linux package on 2.6.30 caused a kernel panic (I didn't expect it to do anything with the current kernel as it only applied to 2.6.31). But I then booted into 2.6.31 without any problems. I now have a test system running btrfs with a few g

I think it's reasonable for package maintainers to check compatibility with the kernel from the distribution they upload package to. Especialy here when package is newer then kernel driver. It's of course harder to supervise the situation when kernel pass ahead of user-space packages but it's also
