(err -22) ext4: no symbol version for TOC. ext4: Unknown symbol TOC. (err -22) ahci: no symbol version for TOC. ahci: Unknown symbol TOC. (err -22) Forcibly loading the modules (modprobe --force ext4, etc.) and resuming the installer allows the system to install normally, however the same issue shows up on reboot. This causes a boot failure that cannot be overridden as the modprobe version in the initramfs does not support the force parameter. Jessie installs normally on the same system.
