root filesystem with xfs
Hi,
There seems to be a problem with xfs compiled in as a module. If I use xfs for the root partition, initramfs can’t mount the partition to /newroot.
# modprobe xfs
modprobe: can't load module libcrc32c (kernel/lib/libcrc32c.ko): unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter
It works when I recomple the kernel by enabling xfs in-kernel rather than module.
CONFIG_XFS_FS=m to CONFIG_XFS_FS=y [1]
This whole thing is very strange, but it seems that other distros are facing the same problem [2].
