Package: kmod Followup-For: Bug #1079022 I can confirm this is still happening right now in sid. A simple way to reproduce is with:
sudo sbuild-qemu-create -o /srv/sbuild/qemu/unstable-autopkgtest-amd64.img unstable https://deb.debian.org/debian qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 -device virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0,id=rng-device0 -device virtio-serial -nic user,model=virtio -m 1024 -smp 1 -nographic /srv/sbuild/qemu/unstable-autopkgtest-amd64.img ... and the image fails to boot when trying to mount the root filesystem: [ 1.492496] Run /init as init process Loading, please wait...
